What is prohibited is the belief that a method of healing is or legally established based on experimentation, because experimentation does not indicate the establishment of something from the Lawgiver, and it is not a proof nor a شبه حجة (semi-proof) according to scholars. As for relying on experience in methods of healing without attributing them to the , there is no harm in that.
