Question

I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. One of my friends is using cannabis oil a few drops in her mouth, and she uses the oil to rub on her body. Is it permissible to use cannabis oil?

Answer

If it is being done as a treatment under the guidance of an experienced doctor, then it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
