It is permissible undoubtedly if the the oil is made and used after the iguana is slaughtered as per the prescribed method of Shari'a and then the oil is made from it's fat etc. And it is not permissible to use its oil in the event it is not slaughtered according to the Shar'i method. However in view of medical purposes the oil could be used in an extremely necessary situation. Further, as and when necessary, the benefits of the oil and its method of usage could also be known from a qualified and reliable physician .
