Is modern medical cauterization, which resembles the ancient Arab cauterization, considered one of the matters that excludes a person from the hadith of the seventy thousand who are not cauterized?

The questioner : My Shaykh, in medicine today there is something called cauterization, and this corresponds to the cauterization known among the Arabs, but it is done with modern methods using electrical tools that, as far as I know, achieve the same purpose sought from the well-known Arab cauterization. The question here, my Shaykh, is whether this medical cauterization, if that term is permissible, excludes a person from being among the seventy thousand who enter Paradise without reckoning.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Yes, it achieves the same purpose.

The Shaykh : Does not electricity burn?

The questioner : Of course, it burns.

The Shaykh : Like fire, and even more so.

The questioner : And even more so, yes.
