So along with that, al-mukhaddir differs from alcohol, in that it is not permissible to administer alcohol as a medicine, because the Prophet ?alaihissalaam said, ?Indeed it is an illness, and it is not a medicine.? As for al-mukhaddir, then it is permissible to use it in an appropriate amount when there is a need, let alone when there is a necessity. (Al-Mukhaddir: drug, analgesic, anaesthetic)
