Three Exceptions
Certain Mujtahids have stated that there are Three exceptions where an intoxicant could be taken as medicine.
First of all the person should know that his malady is curable.
Secondly it must be that if this treatment is not taken it would result in death or extreme pain. Thirdly, there should be no other cure for this ailment.
If these conditions are fulfilled, the patient can be given an intoxicant as medicine but only just enough to cure his disease.
But as we have stated, Allah (S.w.T.) has not bestowed any cure in a HarÄm thing. Hence the above conditions are mentioned just for the sake of an obligation. Such a situation can hardly arise.
