The Ruling on Cauterization with Laser and Ice
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: In our present time, science has advanced, and my question is about cauterization with a laser. Is cauterization only with fire? Because there is cauterization with ice and cauterization with a laser, and there are names and designations in the modern era. Does this fall under fire?
Answer:
This is a question for the specialized doctors. Whatever a person benefits from in treatment, and it is permissible, he uses it, whether with ice, whether with cauterization by fire, whether with cauterization by electricity or laser. Whatever is beneficial and contains treatment, the default ruling is permissibility, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
