Is one allowed to use viagra?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible to take the medication in reference provided that there are no harām ingredients and there are no severe side-effects which may be detrimental to your health.

You may consult a medical practitioner before taking the medication in reference.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
