When he takes it, he says he can't focus for prayer. When he stopped taking his medicine, he went crazy. My friend is concerned. What should he do?\\n\"}]}","answer":"The most advisable course of action would be to consult with his doctor regarding the medication and its effects on him. Adjusting the dosage may assist in maintaining focus during prayers, but this adjustment should be made in consultation with the doctor. Islam emphasizes seeking medical treatment and prohibits harming oneself. Hence, it's crucial not to make decisions about treatment without seeking expert advise.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c23281e","tag":"Salah: Other","count":138},{"_id":"686c05975bca77ccedff9483","tag":"Health: Mental & Emotional","count":28},{"_id":"686c06a65bca77ccedff94d3","tag":"Health: Medication & Supplements","count":21}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:06.493Z"}
