The answer

"Cannabis seeds are one of two possibilities: either they are intoxicating, like hashish, in which case it is impermissible to use them for medicinal purposes. This is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Allah has made a cure for every disease, so seek treatment, but do not seek treatment with what is unlawful." And his (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Allah has not made the cure for my nation in what He has forbidden to them." The second possibility is that a person does not become intoxicated by consuming a large amount of them. In this case, it is permissible to use them for treatment, and it does not matter then that intoxicating hashish is extracted from them."
