Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If ... Shaykh ... he can get treatment from doctors, is it better to go first ... or to wear silk and prioritize it ... .
The Shaykh : What do you say about this? I mean, if he can treat the itching without wearing silk?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Do we say, go if you do not find [a solution]?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Very well.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He does not consult doctors.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : No ... doctors, because the majority of medicines, indeed all medicines ... they say that they must ... have positives that harm the body, and on this basis, why ... doctors, and then it is ... .
The Shaykh : Yes. This is the closest, that we say this is permissible because the Shari'ah has brought it. The parallel is that using silver in vessels is forbidden, but if the cup breaks, it is permissible to what? To rim it with it, even if it can be rimmed with other cords other than silver, because if a thing is permissible for a pressing need, then there is no need for dire necessity, because if we said that you do not use it except when you do not find [an alternative], this would fall under the category of dire necessity, not pressing need. So we say it is permissible to use silk even if he can treat himself with other oils. That is enough, three questions, my brother.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : It is not needed.
The questioner : He did not mention ... .
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Cut it off.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Regarding the aspects you mentioned.
The Shaykh : They are all valid, but the stronger position is that this is from the category of pressing need, and pressing need makes permissible what was forbidden as a means. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, what ... another aspect?
The Shaykh : We do not accept the question.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : What, my brother ... no, let us stick to one system, everyone, three questions, that is enough, whoever has something should save it for the second round. Yes.
