Explanation:
1:
The prohibition of cauterization for treatment is to be understood as being of a non-emphatic (tanzihi) nature, meaning that it is better not to cauterize.
One opinion is also that this prohibition is specific to Imran bin Husayn (radi Allahu anhu),
because it is possible that he was afflicted with such an illness in which cauterizing the body would have caused him harm rather than benefit.
