Q 1: In hospitals, we have some medicines that are used to relieve pain after surgical operations. These medicines contain different amounts of narcotic and alcoholic substances. Is there any harm in using them? If so, are there any positive steps to inform the officials to stop these medicines?
A: There is no harm in using pain killers for patients whether before or after surgical operations. However, if they are known to be intoxicating in large quantities, they should not be used according to the statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him), If a large amount of anything causes intoxication, a small amount of it is prohibited. However, if they are not intoxicating, but only used as pain killers, there is no harm in using them.
