\n\tQuestion:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAre you allowed stimulants prescribed by the doctor?<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe definition of a stimulant is as follows<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tStimulants<\/strong> (also referred to as psychostimulants<\/strong>) are <\/span>psychoactive drugs<\/span><\/a> which induce temporary improvements in either mental or physical functions or both. Examples of these kinds of effects may include enhanced alertness, wakefulness, and locomotion, among others. Due to their effects typically having an "up" quality to them, stimulants are also occasionally referred to as "uppers<\/strong>". <\/span>Depressants<\/span><\/a> or "downers", which decrease mental and\/or physical function, are in stark contrast to stimulants and are considered to be their functional opposites.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith regards to stimulants if they are used as medicine and it improves ones health then it will be permissible to use. However if it intoxicates a person or used for intoxication then this will be impermissible as mentioned in the Hadith<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tProphet \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu said: “Every intoxicant is prohibited (Haram).” (Sahih al-Bukhari, No:5659, Abu Dawud No:3200)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
