One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:

medicine legal(HALAL) in Islam? If not then why? In
(There may be some grammatical and spelling

Answer:
Homeopathic medicine
cure
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet (saws)
reports that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: "Allah has not placed a
cure for your diseases in things that He has forbidden for you.''
Reported by Baihaqi, Ibn Hibban and Bukhari
on the authority of Ibn Masud (r.a.)
Abu ad-Darda reported that the Prophet (saws)
said: "Allah has sent down both the malady and its remedy. For every
disease He has created a cure. So seek medical treatment, but never with
something the use of which Allah has prohibited.'' Reported by Abu Daw'ud.
Respected sister, one is permitted to use any type of
medicine in Shariah, provided the substance being used is not amongst those
which are declared ‘haraam’ or unlawful by Allah and His Messenger (saws).
Thus regardless of whether the type of medicine is
homeopathic or allopathic (or any other ‘…pathy’ for that matter), as long as
the ingredients being used to create the medicine are not amongst those which
are declared ‘haraam’ by Allah and His Messenger (saws), it would be deemed
absolutely lawful for a believer to use them.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.

well wisher in Islam,
