Is it permissible to treat oneself with wolf fat?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to treat oneself with wolf fat?

Answer:
It is not permissible. The wolf is forbidden; its fat, meat, blood, and skin are all forbidden. It is a predator, so this is not permissible. Treatment must not be done with what is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
so treat yourselves medically, but use nothing unlawful.تداووا ولا تداووا بحرام
Sunan Abi Dawud 3874Da'if (Al-Albani)
(peace and blessings be upon him)
Allah does not send down any disease, but He also sends down the cure for it.ما أنزل الله داء إلا أنزل له دواء،
Sunan Ibn Majah 3438Sahih (Darussalam)
with a permissible medicine. Allah has not left any medicine without sending it down. So one should look for permissible medicine, and there is no need for forbidden medicine.
