These things are not only unlawful for Muslims. So a Muslim surgeon or artist should refer the person to someone else to get that done.
Allah says, “Help one another in righteousness and piety, but do not help one another in sin and enmity.” (Qur’an, Al-Ma’idah, 5:2)
All ingredients derived from a pig such as gelatin are forbidden to consume. However, when there is a medical need, then porcine-derived components (such as porcine gelatin or porcine heparin) are allowed only if: 1) there is no alternative medicine easily available 2) the illness is causing severe discomfort or disfunction in your body 3) it is not an experimental medicine which is unsure to work.
It is fine to make a vow to Allah to do something like fast one extra day or give some money in charity. This can help you follow through on doing a good deed so you take it more seriously. Conditional vows are disliked because it is like making a deal with Allah: “If you cure me I will give $1000 to the poor”. Conditional vows were criticized by the Prophet. They do not change Allah’s decision and do not help you increase the chances of Allah doing what you ask for. If something good happens, the only specific thing the Prophet recommended is to perform prostration (sajdat ush-shukr).
There is no benefit in remaining standing without praying.
This is allowed if it is done for some benefit to either the owner or the animal.
