Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother asks about the ruling on treating illness with herbs according to the Shari'ah?
Answer:
There is no harm in treating illness with herbs, or with other than herbs, if it is permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3874Da'if (Al-Albani) And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan al-Bayhaqi 17:517 So the original ruling is permissibility; the original ruling regarding treatment is permissibility with herbs, or with other than herbs, from that which is known and tested to be beneficial, and is not forbidden in itself, whether it is from herbs or from other than herbs. If the doctors know that it cures this disease, one may treat with it, unless it is forbidden, such as intoxicants or pork or the like. Yes.
