Question : #398

Subject:	medical pills to help short term
Question:	If a person - for a temporary cure or killing pain - takes a medicine that significantly advances the time of death, what does Islam say about that?
Answer:	If it does precipitate the death, it is not a treatment. In any case, if it is free of any considerable, rational adverse effect, there is no problem in taking it for treating.
