Seek treatment for illnesses when necessary

This hadith discusses the importance of treating illnesses and how one should go about doing so. It states that if a woman whose husband has passed away fears that she may suffer from an eye inflammation or any other complaint, she should put kohl on and seek a remedy with kohl or some other cure even if it contains perfume. The hadith also emphasizes the importance of ease in religion by saying “If there is a necessity, the deen of Allah is ease”. This means that when faced with difficult situations such as illness, one should not be discouraged but instead look for ways to make things easier for themselves while still adhering to religious principles. In this case, using kohl and perfumed remedies are allowed when necessary.
