The Ruling on Going to Doctors in Realizing the Oneness of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does going to doctors take a person out of realizing the oneness of Allah when he needs them? Does going to doctors take a person out of realizing the oneness of Allah when he needs them? What is the meaning of realizing the oneness of Allah by leaving the causes? Is that correct? Realizing the oneness of Allah by leaving the disliked causes

Answer:
Only the disliked causes, such as asking people, or such as sihr (sorcery), or the forbidden causes, such as taking an omen as a bad sign. So realizing the oneness of Allah is leaving the forbidden causes, like taking an omen as a bad sign, or the disliked ones, like sihr (sorcery) and seeking intercession from the dead, as for the permissible causes that have no dislike in them, there is no harm in them and they do not take a person out of the seventy [types of shirk] because there is no dislike in them. And treatment by doctors is among the permissible things for which no prohibition has been reported.
