Q: A woman suffers carcinoma in the womb and doctors decided that
a hysterectomy must be carried out.
Is this permissible? Please, advise. May Allah reward you!
A:
There is nothing wrong with having a hysterectomy, if it does not endanger the woman's life and doctors decide that carcinoma must be removed. Therefore, it will be considered a lawful means of treatment.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
