I have my surgery tomorrow and as part of prescription i have been asked to take certain opioids in case i have extreme pain.
Is it permissible for me to take? Below are the prescribed opioids.
Hydrocodone: for extreme pain (10/10)
Tramadol: for high pain (7/10)

الجواب وباللہ التوفیق
In severe pain, there is scope for use of such medicines, as prescribed by the doctors. But the condition is that those medicines do not contain alcoholic addiction.
قال الشامی : تحت قول الدر ’’ ویحرم اکل البنج والحشیشۃ والافیون واکل السقمونیا ۔ والبنج مباح للتداوی ، وما زاد علی ذلک اذا کان یقتل او یذھب العقل حرام۔(رد المحتار: ۵/۳۰۳)
فقط واللہ اعلم واتم
