Q: My wife and I have been trying to fall pregnant for a few years now with no success, and after visiting a number of doctors, we've been advised that our only option going forward is to do an ICSI procedure.
Is this procedure permissible in Islam?
Q: I wanted to ask about PRP treatment and this is how it works:
A sample of the patient's blood is drawn. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the area needing treatment. The injected PRP stimulates the body's natural healing process by releasing growth factors and other proteins that promote tissue regeneration, collagen production, and inflammation reduction.
Is this allowed? Because I have acne scars... and I don't know if its allowed or not.
Q: Is it permissible for a woman to go to a lady for a shoulder massage, not removing any clothes or exposing any awrah.
Reason for shoulder massage is because the woman has a lot of stiff/stress knots which is interfering with daily activities by leaving it and not getting it out.
Q: With regards to the permissibility of using Aafiyah Healing, Bodytalk & Reiki as alternate healing/treatment, the treatment which is of great concern is one which is carried out by a practitioner abroad.
All she requires are names of patients, other family members and maybe a few other details.
There are no one on one consultations, to the extent she can tell things about patients and their problems even whilst the patient is asleep.
Q: Can cupping be done regularly? Once a month... Due to back pain etc.
Q: The question is related to the bacteria used in a probiotic.
Many years ago, a one time collection using an oral swab - like how a covid test is done - was obtained from a living infant. The bacteria was then isolated, identified, purified and mass produced after this single collection.
The bacteria in this specific probiotic do not contain any human material or DNA. Bacteria don't come from humans. It is a separate entity so to speak. They are not part of the human body.
Is it permissible to consume this medication?
Q: There is currently a hair growth treatment that is being offered for people who suffer from serious hair loss.
In the treatment, blood cells are taken from a person with healthy hair (not your blood cells but from someone else). These cells are then genetically modified in a lab and mixed with a serum which is applied onto your head. They then do micro needling which allows the serum to get into your scalp.
During the process of the treatment, you are also required to use a minoxidil spray every night.
Is the above treatment permissible to use?
Q: I am a female and went to a male naturopath and he checked my pulse which I thought he won't and felt really bad about it as a ghair mahram touched me. But now I really need treatment and haven't heard of a female naturopath. Is it okay for me to go to the male and is it fine if he touches my hand to check my pulse?
Q: What is the shariah ruling on the permissiblility and impermissiblility regarding plastic surgery?
Q: Could you kindly advise regarding the dental use of dried freezed bone.
The bone is derived from a bone bank based in Cape Town. According to the bone bank, bone is derived from people who donate their bodies to science. The bone is then vigorously sterilized under UV light and crushed to form granules. When a surgeon is placing dental implants, any bone defects around the implants are filled with the granules and the patients blood. The granules act as a scaffold for the patient’s own bone to regrow.
Once the patient's own bone has grown the granules get replaced with the patients bone. There is a synthetic bone but the results are not predictable. Animal bone results are worst. Dental implants serve both function and aesthetics.
