Quote:
The Maliki Ibn ‘Abd Al-Barr said in Al-Tamhid,
And there were among the best of this nation, its predecessors, and scholars, people who
endured ailments until Allah removed them despite having access to physicians. They,
however, were not condemned for refusing treatment. And if treatment had been one of
the required norms (al-sunan al-wajibah), then those who refused to utter incantations and
take medication would have been deemed blameworthy. And this is something of which
we know no one who says.

Imam Ahmad said, “I like for the one who believes in the efficacy of trust and pursues
this path to abandon medical treatment such as drinking medicine and other things.”
For this reason, Qadi ‘Iyad conveyed unanimous consensus on the non-obligation to
medicate. And if the refusal to medicate is scripturally validated for the sick, then this
is evidence that it is not permitted to force him to do so. So, it is not proper to force
the sick to medicate. Rather, it is not [even] proper to force him to eat and drink. Ibn
al-Qayyim said in Zad al-Ma’ad,
this path to abandon medical treatment such as drinking medicine and other things.”

And Al-Nawwawi said in Al-Majmu’, “And it is recommended that the sick not be forced
to medicate and to consume other things like food.” And if it is not permissible to force
the sick who is suffering from extreme illness to medicate, then how is it permissible
to force the healthy who has not been afflicted with any sign of illness?
