Would you please tell me, why is medical marijuana, when used under the prescription of medical professional considered halal? But alcohol is always haram?
If a person suffers from severe illness and the trusted medical professional prescribes him alcohol, and there are no alternatives, then it is permissible to consume it within the limits of necessity. However, one must be very cautious and try to seek several medical opinions to find an alternative before hastening the use of alcohol, for drinking it has severe negative effects.
