The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this woman says that she was injured in her face and used treatment with the doctor, but the wound did not heal and the pain did not go away. The doctor advised her to undergo cauterization. Her question is: Is cauterization permissible in this situation? And
The Shaykh:
There is no harm; it is a case of dire necessity. There is no harm. Yes.
The questioner:
And does it take him out of the seventy thousand?
The Shaykh:
If you need the treatment, it is not hidden; it is not hidden because it is for a pressing need. Yes.
