Halal General principles

Is it permitted to seek medical treatment?

Short answer

Yes. Seeking treatment is allowed and encouraged, and it does not go against trust in Allah. The Quran forbids casting oneself into destruction (2:195). Treatment must not use anything haram if a lawful alternative exists, and haram medicine is allowed only in necessity.

Evidence

Quran

وَأَنفِقُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تُلْقُوا۟ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى ٱلتَّهْلُكَةِ ۛ وَأَحْسِنُوٓا۟ ۛ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿١٩٥﴾

Und gebt auf Allahs Weg aus und stürzt euch nicht mit eigener Hand ins Verderben. Und tut Gutes. Allah liebt die Gutes Tuenden.
