Q: Is it a misunderstanding of Islam to refuse to go beyond using pure supplications to Allah in order to overcome a huge problem at hand? Some local imams are prescribing things like taking special baths and drinking certain concoctions in addition to supplications and azkar. These are good and devoted imams. They say that it's okay so long as one is not committing shirk or using something forbidden. But I am not so sure. Moreover, I am someone who naturally believes in and prefers pure supplications, especially Quraanic and Prophetic supplications.
Please I NEED you to confirm the truth on this matter.
A: Precautionary health measures that are taken moderately are approved. Going beyond the point of moderation is undesired.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
