Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, when a person prescribes medicine for a colleague, he says, "Take this medicine; this medicine conquers the disease."
Answer:
It is not permissible to dispense medicine except by a specialized doctor. Also, it is not permissible to say the phrase "conquers the disease." No one conquers the disease except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). But he may say, "This is beneficial. If Allah wills, He will cure the disease." There is no harm in that. Yes.
