The answer

It is not permissible to use poppy (khashkhash) individually or mixed with other substances, as it contains opium, which is an intoxicating and prohibited drug. Therefore, treating with it is forbidden due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) sayings: "Indeed, Allah has made a cure for every disease, so seek treatment but do not seek treatment with what is unlawful," and "Indeed, Allah has not made the cure for my nation in what He has forbidden to them."
