What is the ruling on cauterization?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 911 to the end of it, meaning they do not resort to medicines that are not necessary , Why is cauterization not beneficial? It is not so; it is among the best medicines, as mentioned in the hadith, but the Lawgiver disliked it. However, is there harm in leaving it? Suppose there is a type of illness that requires cauterization, and if it is not done, there is fear for the one who is not cauterized; in that case, the ruling differs... I mean, take Dr. 'Asim's opinion.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : And clarify with him, meaning, if this is left and we endure it for hours or a day or days, does harm result in the end or not? If he says harm will result, treatment is necessary. If he says no, this will go away due to the body's natural resistance to the intruder, I do not see that he should treat it. In any case, the opinion is up to you... everything.
The Doctor: Praise be to Allah, a favor from Allah.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is what we want. Here, our brother al-Khatib was stung by a spider, as we say, recently, and he wants to consult you, and may Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The Doctor: And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : How is the doctor?
The Doctor: Welcome, welcome.
The questioner: Praise be to Allah for your safety.
The Doctor: I hope you are well, if Allah wills.
The questioner : I ask Allah to ward off the harm from you, and I, praise be to Allah, am well.
The Doctor: ... the spider.
The questioner : No, Doctor, it is not the bee.
The Doctor: The yellow one.
The questioner : The yellow one, may Allah bless you.
The Doctor: ... this sting, if Allah wills, is not harmful.
The questioner : It is not harmful.
The Doctor: Yes.
The questioner : Now, Doctor, as soon as it stung me, naturally it was a severe sting, and no symptoms appeared. In the evening, a slight swelling appeared on the finger. This morning, the finger and part of the palm swelled, and I have itching, and the place is hot, naturally hot.
The Doctor: Okay, what should I say? Can you come to me after noon? I will give you some medicines from my own stock.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah honor you. Now I have a question before this: if I leave it...
The Doctor: If you leave it, it might go away on its own, hello.
The questioner: Yes.
The Doctor: It might go away on its own, and it might increase.
The questioner : Increase, okay, what does that mean? Let us say...
The Doctor: ... go to a pharmacy and talk to me from my side, the pharmacist will be there, and if you like, I will give you medicine from my stock, two boxes, I will give them to you without payment.
The questioner : May Allah be pleased with you, Doctor. My intention is that if there is no fear of it, it can be left until it goes away, but if there are complications to be feared, we resort to this. The Doctor: ... come and take the treatment.
The questioner : That is better, okay, good, if Allah wills, I will try. May Allah reward you, if Allah wills.
