Using cannabis oil
Question
Cannabis oil is used to treat cancer. I would like to know if it is permissible to take cannabis oil for medical reasons, namely arthiritis. Consumption of excessive quantities at one go may lead to intoxication however I intend to take very little which will not lead to intoxication.
Answer
If it is recommended by a doctor and there is no equivalent alternative it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
