Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), “In the name of Allah, the soil of our land,” is it necessary for soil to be present for one to do this, or is it on the ground in whatever state it is in?
Answer:
No, it must be soil; it has to be pure soil, because the soil, by the permission of Allah, contains healing. It resists disease, or it can cut off germs, so soil has a property.
