Going to Doctors and Realizing the Oneness of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does going to doctors take a person out of realizing the oneness of Allah when he needs it?
Answer:
What is the meaning of realizing the oneness of Allah and leaving off the means? What is correct is that realizing the oneness of Allah is leaving off only the disliked means, such as asking people, or the forbidden means, such as taking an omen as a bad sign. So realizing the oneness of Allah is leaving off the forbidden means, like taking an omen as a bad sign, or the disliked means, like cauterization and seeking the help of the jinn. As for the permissible means in which there is no dislike, there is no harm in them, and they do not take a person out of the seventy-seven [categories of shirk]; because there is no dislike in them. And treatment by doctors is among the permissible things, yes. The one in which there is no prohibition? Yes.
