Refusing medical treatment
Question
My sister suffers from severe menstrual pain therefore her parents wanted her to take HPR high dose but she kept it in the corner of her mouth but didn't swallow it.Her father double checked her mouth but didn't find anything miraculously. Her father then asked if she had swallowed it or if she was lying. She replied in the former answer which was not true. But she didn't swallow it and it decreased the Blood flow.Will it be considered a lie?
Answer
It is not compulsory to take this treatment. It was not wrong of her to have behaved in this manner.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
