Question:
May Allah reward you. A questioner from Madinah asks: Regarding the dates of Madinah, do these dates take the place of Ajwa? And is there anything reported specifically about the Ajwa of Madinah?
Answer:
Yes, it is reported regarding the Ajwa of Madinah that whoever eats seven dates in the morning, no harm from the sorcery of a sorcerer will affect him. Some scholars say this is general for all dates, meaning one should eat seven dates in the morning even if they are not Ajwa. However, if Ajwa is available, specifically the Ajwa of Madinah, it is more emphatic and better. Yes.
