However, an issue arises due to the use of forbidden substances such as pork, toxins, alcohol, and the like for medicinal purposes, despite Islam prohibiting the use of such substances. Therefore, this article aims to discuss the legality of treatment using forbidden sources and establish guidelines for its use from the perspective of Islam. This study employs qualitative methods and content analysis. Information sources are obtained from books, theses, and journal articles to compile a detailed study, subsequently analyzed descriptively. The study finds that the use of forbidden sources for medical purposes is permissible to save lives in emergency situations, subject to specific conditions.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Keywords: Treatment, Disease, Islam, Emergency, Forbidden.</p> Afifi Azahar Firdaus Mohammad Ahmad Mohamad Copyright (c) 2024 KATHA- The Official Journal of the Centre for Civilisational Dialogue http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0 2024-12-31 2024-12-31 20 1 1 21 10.22452/KATHA.vol20no1.1
