The annoyance of dipping a fly in a vessel and throwing it away
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Before this, Your Eminence the Shaykh, we actually have some questions regarding matters for which nothing is to be dipped. A person feels repelled by dipping a fly in a vessel; rather, he throws it out and pours out what it has touched. Is there any sin on him for doing so?
Answer:
The correct view is what he did. It is the Sunnah (recommended practice) to do what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. One does not carry this thing, dip it in the milk, and then throw it away. Praise be to Allah, it does not harm him. The disease and the cure are combined; the cure is combined with the disease in one of its wings, and the disease in the other. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most gentle and the most perfect in conduct (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
