Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

 

It is known that seeking treatment is permissible. The Prophet said: "O people, seek treatment, but do not seek treatment by using what is forbidden."

Hence, it is permissible to seek treatment with homeopathy provided the following two conditions are fulfilled:

1-    It should be medically confirmed that homeopathy cures and does not cause any harm nor does it have any negative or harmful side effects. If trustworthy doctors testify to this, then it becomes permissible to use this method if the following second condition is met.

2-    This method should not include hypnotism or similar methods, as these are methods of magicians.

For more benefit, please refer to Fatwa 82563.   

Allaah Knows best.
