Question:In dental implants, some dentists use soft tissues and bones from different animals, including cows and pigs, after being treated with high temperatures and various chemicals. We ask your eminence about the extent of legitimacy of this process, especially with regard to what was taken from the pig?
Answer:In the name of Allah, if the nature of the bone, tissue or part taken from the pig or others is changed through burning and medication, then the possibility has been achieved, so there is no objection to the use in the manner mentioned. In case the possibility does not happen, then if this is the only treatment, which is by such impure (najs) or unclean (the object that touched najs object) object or it becomes inside the human body also, there is no objection to that. Allah knows best.
Question:I am a medical student in the third stage and it is required from us to perform autopsy. Is it permissible for me to cut the bodies that belong to non-Muslims which is part of my study? What are the rulings of washing when their organs come into contact during anatomy, such as the stomach, kidneys, and others? What are the rulings of autopsy in general?
Answer:In the name of Allah, it is permissible, but you should wash the" the touch of the dead wash" (Ghusul Almait) if the touch occurs without any separating materials such as a glove, for example, and in the case that the deceased was not washed "Ghusul Almait". Allah knows best.
Question:I am from Bahrain and I intend to do a gastrectomy operation because my weight increases too much, i.e. about 40 kilos, so is the operation permissible? Of course, if it is permissible, I will do it outside Bahrain, but I cannot bring what would be cut of the stomach to Bahrain. Is it permissible to leave it in the hospital and the hospital would be disposing it?
Answer:In the name of Allah, if this is the only treatment then it would be permissible. Allah knows best.
Question:There is what is called deductive medicine, in which medical rulings are drawn from the narrations of the Ahlulbait (PBUH) and the deduction is performed on the true narrations that come with proof. Is this a complete thesis and can it be worked on? Is the person excused if he worked in such a medicine and did harm like when a diabetic leaves the insulin prescribed to him by a doctor? Is it correct to market the work considering it a follow-up and knowledge of Ahlulbait (PBUH)?
Answer:In the name of Allah, that knowledge of medical rulings, as well as knowledge of diseases, knowledge of treatment, and what is related to the correct diagnosis of disease is only for a person to have experience and skill with as we have indicated. If anyone is in accordance with the mastery of the aspects that we have mentioned, he/ she would be the same as the new doctors and the old doctors who were treating and still in some countries with drugs. Allah knows best
Question:Is it forbidden to use fruits to put them on body skin for treatment or is this a violation Allah's grace?
Answer:In the name of Allah, if the treatment is limited to it, there is no problem. Allah knows best.
Question:Some medicines are extracted from decomposed fish, but it is unknown whether they are legally fished (Tathkiya) or not knowing that their origin is from non-Muslim countries, so what is the ruling on selling them and eating them?
Answer:In the name of Allah, it is not permissible to use it without attaining the animal's Islamic fisshing (Tadhkiaya) from which the medication was taken according to the Islamic sharia. Yes, if the medicine is confined to this animal, it is allowed for its necessity. Allah knows best.
Question:Is smoking permissible or not?
Answer:In the name Allah, we have made it clear in our fatwas some time ago that if a clever doctor rules that smoking is harmful, the person who is habitual should refrain from smoking completely. Furthermore, we said that someone who is not accustomed to smoking is not allowed to get used to himself, and if habituation occurs and the doctor forbids him, he must abstain. If the doctors state that it is not harmful - for example - then the person may continue. As for making habituation, it is not permissible. Allah knows best.
Question:work in the fight against cancer and one of the most difficult things for us is smoking in all its forms. There are hundreds of studies linking the harms of smoking to cancer and death around the world and the Middle East region are among the most countries with smokers. I have found that in questions for most the religious authorities (Marjai') refer the matter to the person in charge of diagnosing the damage which is something never prevented, despite the presence of this harm according to the wise, which makes the person religiously (Sharia) excused. This scourge kills thousands around the world, and we urge you to help us to reduce it through your directives and your speech to prevent it as you see fit. I am ready to provide all the documents necessary to support the mentioned harm caused by smoking?
Answer:In the name of Allah, we have made it clear in our fatwas not so long ago that if the clever physician ruled that smoking is harmful to the environment you mentioned, the person should refrain from smoking completely. Furthermore, we said that someone who is not accustomed to smoking is not allowed to get used to himself. If habituation occurs and the doctor forbids him, he must abstain, and if the doctors state that it is not harmful - for example - it is permissible for the person to continue, and as for making habituation, it is not permissible. Allah knows best.
Question:What is the legal ruling for criminal autopsy, that is, the anatomy ordered by the judicial authorities responsible for an investigation and is accomplished by the judicial medical departments or what is known as the autopsy of the human body to know the true cause of death?
Answer:In the name of Allah, the wounding of the dead body of a Muslim or the cutting of something from his body or the incision of the body is forbidden. It is not permissible to commit it unless the right of the dead or the living Muslim depends on it, and if the right holder wants that and asks for autopsy, he must bear the blood money (Diya) for the wounding of the Muslim’s corpse. The Diya differs depending on the type of wound or cut that are needed to prove the right judgement and that this Diya I have for the imam (may Allah Almighty hasten his reappearance) and the heir of the deceased is not included with this Diya.
Question:What does your eminence think about those in pharmacies who are not specializing pharmacists and who dispense medicines to people like teachers, engineers, nurses and many others. On the pretext that they have knowledge or worked for a period in this field, knowing that the Pharmacists Association and the Health Departments do not accept this and do not allow it, and what is the ruling of the money they charge? What is the ruling of pharmacists who allow them to be in their pharmacies on their own?
Answer:In the name of Allah, my son, know that those whom you mentioned work in the pharmacy their usual work is limited to dispensing and selling the prescription medication of the doctor and do not diagnose the disease for the patient and do not assign the medicine to him. The best and the necessary is that he/she does not take over the mentioned work except those who knew and mastered that profession so that they do not make a mistake in dispensing medicine. Allah knows best.
