Consuming Khamr as a treatment, like men wearing silk for treatment

719

Q 3: We know that the Prophet (peace be upon him) has permitted some Muslim men to wear silk clothes as a cure for their illness. Can we apply Qiyas (analogy) and consider drinking Khamr (intoxicants) lawful if prescribed as a cure?

A: This is not permissible. Wearing silk is lawful for women and prohibited for men for a special reason, and it becomes lawful for men when there is a necessity. On the other hand, consuming Khamr is absolutely prohibited for everyone due to its great harm.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
