Summary
The Muzakarah ruled that using Clexane and Fraxiparine is prohibited because both are derived from a source forbidden in Islam. In principle, medicine from a haram source is allowed only when no halal medicine is available, and then only to the extent needed. Since the alternative drug Arixtra is made from a halal source and has the same function and effectiveness, the necessity exception does not apply to these two drugs.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Islam menegah penggunaan ubat dari sumber yang haram bagi mengubati sesuatu penyakit, kecuali dalam keadaan di mana tiada ubat dari sumber yang halal ditemui dan bagi menghindari kemudharatan mengikut kadar yang diperlukan sahaja sehingga ubat dari sumber yang halal ditemui.
