Question:
The brother 'Abd al-'Aziz says in this question: Has it been reported, O Shaykh, in an athar (report) from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) thatSunan an-Nasa'i 4262Hasan (Darussalam) food or drink, it does not become ritually impure by one of its wings, and the other is medicine, especially since many people dislike that food or drink and do not pay attention to the noble hadith? Does this hadith apply to things like insects, the bee, the spider, and others?
Answer:
Yes, the hadith is authentic from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in Sahih al-Bukhari and other collections, in which he saidSunan Abi Dawud 3844Sahih (Al-Albani). One should dip the other wing, the one containing the medicine, in order to counteract the disease in the wing that was dipped. This is among the wonders of the creation of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and His making of things: He creates opposites in the wings of the fly, and in things even smaller than it. Allah is capable of all things. If the fly dies, there is no doubt that if it is dipped, especially if the drink is hot, it will certainly die. And yet, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order the water or drink in which the fly died to be thrown away. From this, the scholars deduced that a small amount of something that has no flowing blood, meaning something without blood, such as a fly or other insects, does not make water impure if it dies in it.
As for the fact that some people dislike drinking water in which a fly has fallen, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not rank it as drinking, but rather he prohibited discarding the drink. Whether he uses it or someone else uses it. Yes, may Allah reward you.
