By: Ibn-Taymiyyah Ibn-al-Qayyim Shaikh bin-Baaz Shaikh 'Uthaimeen And The Permanent Committee الالمسكن والتاوي الشرعي المكان من السائل اللي The relationship between medicine and human life emphasises its importance, for who among us does not fall sick? Is there anyone who does not face sickness and fatigue after good health and energy? That is why medicine has its prestigious position and Imaam ash-Shafi'iy explained this in a brief expression saying: 'Knowledge is only one of two things: Knowledge of religion and that of this world. Religious knowledge is Figh (Islamic Jurisprudence) while worldly knowledge is Medicine." In this booklet we have made an effort to present to the English reader a translation of the book "Al Ahkaam wal Fataawaa as Shar'iyyah li Katheerin minal Massailit Tibbiyyah" it is a collection of various rulings and legal verdicts concerning many of the medical issues that we may be uncertain about. From amongst the issues covered are prayer, purification, fasting and other aspects of worship for the sick. Other topics discussed are rulings on blood donations, fertility treatments and transplants, from cornea transplants to heart trans- plants, this being a topic that has hardly been touched upon or presented to the English reader before, yet it is something that we need to be aware off.
