Praise be to Allah.
There is nothing wrong with treating the diseases mentioned with treatments that are prescribed in sharee’ah or that are permissible, administered by specialized doctors who is certain that the operation is most likely to be successful. This is because of the general meaning of the shar’i evidence (daleel) which indicates that it is permissible to treat the sick with medicines that are prescribed in sharee’ah or are permissible. With regard to haram medicines, such as alcohol and so on, it is not permissible to use them for treatment. Among the shar’i evidence concerning that are the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):
“Allah has not sent down any disease but He has also sent down the cure.”
For every disease there is a medicine, and if the medicine hits the disease, it will be cured, in sha Allah.”
“Whoever among you can benefit his brother, then let him do so.”
“O slaves of Allah, seek treatment but do not seek treatment with that which is haram.”
“Allah does not make your healing in that which He has forbidden for you.”
And there are many similar ahaadeeth. We ask Allah to benefit you and to help us and you and all the Muslim doctors to do all that pleases Him and benefits His slaves, for He is the Most Generous, Most Kind.
