Medical treatment

Taking advice from a hakeem or physician when using treatments prescribed in the Hadith

Q: Are treatments of various diseases mentioned in hadiths part of wahi? Should we do them or go to a hakeem who has expertise in this field? The Hakeem tells other procedures with the same thing like in hadith cure for pneumonia is mentioned with qustul hind and hakeem also tells a procedure with qustul hind but a different method not the same method told by the prophet.

Taking prophetic or non prophetic medicines

Q: Should we only rely on spritual medicines like zam zam, honey, etc. and not take medicines? I don't know why I think due to my weak faith that what happened if I don't get shifa and I only think of using medical medicines. Am I committing kufr?

I heard the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) used both. Did he always use then in a combined form of both spiritual and physical medicines?

Using the loop as a contraceptive

Q: Please clarify this matter for us:

1. In the case where a lady gets very sick during pregnancy, and is vomiting and unable to eat properly etc. for months, and hence needs a gap between pregnancies to recover physically and mentally, will it be permissible to utilise the loop as a contraceptive?

2. For normal spacing out of children, i.e. a lady doesn't get very sick or anything but just to space the children out, will using the loop be permissible?

Woman revealing her satr for cosmetic surgery

Q: I need a fatwa regarding treating a female patient by a male doctor in a surgery.

Actually the procedure is cosmetic surgery for droopy eyelids and the male surgeon said that we will take skin from your inner thighs. So I want to ask about the draping procedure and all the male staff along with female staff with male doctors are present.

Is it allowed to expose your body infront of men in the presence of females?
