Is it forbidden to use medicine if it does not benefit?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Is it forbidden to use medicine if it does not benefit?

The Shaykh : No, it is not forbidden to use it. However, if it leads to harm, such as some antibiotics, which can harm a person more than they benefit him, then if he finds no benefit, he must refrain from using it, even if the doctor tells him to continue. If he does not find benefit in such medicines, like antibiotics, it is dangerous for the person.
