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
