Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
Are anxiolytics (such as valium or xanax) haraam? What if prescribed by doctors for the treatment of serious anxiety disorder?
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
As long as they do not cause serious long-term harm, which would be known through expert medical opinion, they would be permitted.
And Allah knows best.
Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani
