Consumption of Industrial Alcohol to Aid Sleep
A person works all day and comes home at night unable to sleep. If they drink 50 grams of medical industrial alcohol, they can sleep. Is it permissible for them to drink this amount twice a week, for example?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: If it is not intoxicating, and it is a necessary medicine, and there is no harm in it, and it was prescribed by a trusted doctor, then it is permissible, and God knows best.
