Is the cauterization of a cervical ulcer included in the cauterization forbidden in the Hadith: "Seventy thousand of my Ummah will enter Paradise without reckoning: they are those who do not seek Ruqyah, do not get cauterized, do not believe in omens, and upon their Lord they rely"?
Cauterization with fire is not forbidden, and the does not indicate its prohibition; rather, it praises those who abstain from it out of reliance on and trust in Allah. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cauterized some of his companions. Cauterization is a form of medical treatment, and it should not be avoided unless there is evidence [for its prohibition]. The prohibition of cauterization has been countered by stronger evidence for its permissibility. The majority of scholars consider cauterization permissible when there is a need for it, and abstaining from it out of reliance on Allah is better. Laser treatment is not included in the cauterization mentioned in the texts.
