Question:
The questioner says: Many people in the desert believe that drinking the blood of certain people from a specific tribe is a cure for a specific disease. What is the ruling on this belief?
Answer:
This is not permissible, and drinking blood is not permissible. Blood is forbidden (haram)[Al-Ma'idah 5:3], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Seek treatment, but do not seek treatment with what is forbidden." Blood is forbidden and impure; it is not permissible to seek treatment with impurities. And Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Bulugh al-Maram 10:50 It is not permissible to seek treatment with what is forbidden. Allah has made many medicines from what is permissible, and one can suffice with them.

إن الله لم يجعل شفاءكم فيما حرم عليكم
