The ruling on the hadith regarding giving charity of three dates and eating dates on an empty stomach
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is authentic in the hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is that he said: "Whoever gives charity of three dates, neither his mother nor his sister will harm him?"
The Shaykh:
The hadith is authentic; this hadith is authentic. Therefore, it is recommended (mustahabb) for the Muslim to eat seven dates on an empty stomach at the beginning of the day, so that Allah benefits him with them and protects him from sorcery and poison, as this hadith is authentic. However, in some narrations, it mentions the "Himar" dates of Madinah, meaning the specific type of date mentioned, which is a particular date called "Al-'Ashwah" from the dates of Al-Nabilah.
The presenter:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
But even though this is specific, there is no doubt that dates have purity and virtue, and eating them on an empty stomach is of great good. If he does not have the "Al-'Ashwah" dates, he eats from other dates, and there is good in that, if Allah wills. But if he finds the "Marsuf" dates, that is better and more delicious.
