Seeking healing through the Holy Quran, supplications (du'a), and lawful incantations ( shari'ah) is permissible for all diseases. It is a complete healing from all ailments of the heart and body, and from the afflictions of this world and the hereafter. Whoever is not healed by the Quran, may Allah not grant them healing. Delaying prayer beyond its prescribed time due to pain and exhaustion is not permissible. However, it is permissible to combine two prayers due to extreme necessity. One must pray according to their ability: standing, and if unable, then sitting, and if unable, then lying on one's side.
