What is the ruling on using homeopathic medicines that contain alcohol in their composition?

Summary:

1. The efficacy of homeopathy (treatment by similars) has not been proven by many physicians; rather, some even oppose it. 2. It is impermissible to proceed with any treatment unless its benefit is proven with certainty or a strong probability. 3. Caution must be exercised regarding medicines that contain toxic or alcoholic substances, unless their quantity is very small and their benefit has been confirmed by studies and conclusive results. 4. It is recommended to use ruqyah (Islamic exorcism) and medicines whose benefit has been prescribed by Sharia, such as honey and black seed, while seeking the assistance of physicians to determine the method of use.
