Summary
Using cannabis is in principle forbidden because it harms the human body. The fatwa nevertheless permits it for medical purposes if three conditions are met: approval from the relevant authority, confirmation by two medical specialists, and no use for unlawful purposes. In this fatwa, cannabis means the drug derived from the hemp plant, commonly known as ganja.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
