     Mushbooh
     Haram

    MPS SC 2015 - Amrahi - 14.11.15 3


    Al Quran references
    Surah al-Baqarah - (2):172 – 173

     172. O ye who believe! Eat of the good things that We have provided
    for you, and be grateful to Allah, if it is Him ye worship.
     173. He hath only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh
    of swine, and that on which any other name hath been invoked
    besides that of Allah. But if one is forced by necessity, without
    willful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then is he
    guiltless. For Allah is Oft-forgiving Most Merciful.

    MPS SC 2015 - Amrahi - 14.11.15 4


    Al Quran references
    Surah al-Anaam - 145:

     Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything]
    forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood
    spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure - or it be [that
    slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allah . But
    whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor
    transgressing [its limit], then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and
    Merciful."

    MPS SC 2015 - Amrahi - 14.11.15 5


    Al Quran references
    Surah al-Maidah - 3:

     Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and
    that which has been dedicated to other than Allah , and [those
    animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long
    fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal
    has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its
    death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and
    [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That
    is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired
    of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I
    have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon
    you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is
    forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed,
    Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

    MPS SC 2015 - Amrahi - 14.11.15 6


    Al-Hadeeth references
     Narrated Usamah ibn Sharik:
    I came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and his Companions
    were sitting as if they had birds on their heads. I saluted and sat
    down. The desert Arabs then came from here and there. They
    asked: Apostle of Allah, should we make use of medical treatment?
    He replied: Make use of medical treatment, for Allah has not made
    a disease without appointing a remedy for it, with the exception of
    one disease, namely old age.

     Narrated AbuHurayrah:
    The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) prohibited unclean
    medicine.

    Wa'il said: Tariq ibn Suwayd or Suwayd ibn Tariq asked the Prophet
    (peace_be_upon_him) about wine, but he forbade it. He again asked him,
    but he forbade him. He said to him: Prophet of Allah, it is a medicine. The
    Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: No it is a disease.

     Narrated AbudDarda:
    The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Allah has sent down both the
    disease and the cure, and He has appointed a cure for every disease, so
    treat yourselves medically, but use nothing unlawful.

     Narrated Abu Huraira:


    The Prophet said, "There is no disease that Allah has created, except that
    He also has created its treatment.

     Prevention is better than cure

    MPS SC 2015 - Amrahi - 14.11.15 9

     Maqasid is an Arabic word for goals or purposes. In
    an Islamic context, the term can refer to the purposes
    of Islamic faith, zakat (charity tax), pilgrimage, or of
    the Qur'an's and Sunnah's text.

     Lineage / Progeny (nasl)
     Intellect (‘aql)

    MPS SC 2015 - Amrahi - 14.11.15 14
     Ruling on Using Clexane and Fraxiparine Medicines

     Decision:

     The 87th Muzakarah (Conference) of the Fatwa Committee National Council of


    Islamic Religious Affairs Malaysia held on 23rd-25th June 2009 has discussed the
    ruling on using clexane and fraxiparine medicines. The Committee has decided
    that:

     Islam prohibits using medicine derived from unlawful sources as a cure, except in
    a situation where there is no other lawful sources and the amount used
    according to the prescribed dosage only. The haram based medicine is only
    permitted to be used limitedly. The permissibility (of using haram based
    medicine) is annulled when the halal alternative is found.
     Thus, as regards to clexane and fraxiparine that are urgently needed by patients
    who are in critical condition to prevent sudden clotting of the blood, the
    Committee has decided that the medicines are forbidden. It is due to the
    availability of alternative medicine namely arixtra that is produced from lawful
    sources which has the same function and efficiency as clexane and fraxiparine.

    MPS SC 2015 - Amrahi - 14.11.15 15
