Medical treatment

Q: If someone is on a life support machine and his family has to turn it off, if ever they are in that position, is it Islamic to do so?

Q: I understand that cosmetic surgery is generally haram. But if I have a feature that is deformed, my nose goes to one side, is it halal to get this straightened. It is not a medical issue but causes psychological distress. Allah says he doesn't burden any soul with more than it can bear, so if I can't bear this will He understand?

Q: I have bought tablets for hairfall but later on got to know that they have gelatin in them which is beef gelatin. Can I take those tablets? As it's been said that gelatin is haraam.

Q: I would like to know if taking herbs for health reasons from a herbs doctor (boil herbs in water, drink remaining after straining ) is permissible. It sometimes includes animal bones (dried condition). Is it ok to drink it after boiling in water together with other herbs?

Q: Can an unmarried girl get a test tube child or is it only for a married woman?

Q: I have a question regarding if something is haram and shirk. There's this thing called subliminals and they’re essentially these affirmations that reach your subconscious to help change some things or help improve yourself. For example, get longer eyelashes or improve your memory. Is it shirk? Also, some don’t have music playing, usually rain drops or silence.

Q: Would it be considered halal to inject yourself with hormones for weight loss for non medical purposes?

Q: Last year I gave birth and an African Muslim woman who I trust told me about a herbal remedy for speeding up the birth and dilating. She told me that she soaks maryam flower and drinks it like a tea 2 weeks before the due date. I did this and everything was okay. Allah Ta'ala granted me a quick natural birth.

This year I am going to give birth again but my sister in law sent me a post that she read about people saying that they use maryam flower for prosperity and wealth and so on. Basically, like witchcraft or something. I'm not sure now and I am scared to use it after reading this post.

I want to know if its okay for me to use it as a herbal remedy like I did the last time or should I stay away from it?

Q: I am suffering from premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, penis hypersensitivity, low sperm count, low motility, loose penis and unable to satisfy my wife.

In one second I ejaculate. I masturbated alot before marriage but no zina. Want to know whether I can apply zamzam water on my penis for shifa. 

Q: Me and my wife have been married for 7 years now Alhamdulillah, but unfortunately we have no children.

We are speaking to ivf specialists and when we asked about being able to see a female specialist during the egg collection and embryo implant procedure we were told that this is not possible and we will be seen by whoever is available on the day, male or female.

What is the ruling regarding this under Islamic law. I have been getting mixed responses from family and friends. Some people have told me because it is medical reason it is allowed while others say it is haram as the awrah (privates) is exposed to a non mahram (potentially male) and not a necessity.

Please can you elaborate on the conditions that would make ivf between husband and wife, halal or haram.
