Honey contains a cure for people

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person is asking about honey. He says: I am certain and confident in what has come in the texts of the Shari'ah regarding honey, but I find it difficult to consume it. A doctor has ordered me to take it, especially in the morning, as it is hot for my stomach. Will this illness be removed by continuing to take it? My stomach also hurts me. So what has come regarding honey?

Answer:
Yes, honey contains a cure for people, as Allah the Exalted said:
There emerges from their bellies a drink, varying in colors, in which there is healing for peopleيَخْرُجُ مِن بُطُونِهَا شَرَابٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِّلنَّاسِ
[An-Nahl 16:69]
. However, if the cure does not occur from the very first moment, he should repeat it until the desired result is achieved. The desired effect may not be obtained from the first time or the first day, so he should repeat taking the honey, especially since the doctor has advised him to do so. He should be patient, and if Allah wills, the desired result will be achieved with persistence. Yes.
