The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his book *Al-Tibb al-Nabawi* (Prophetic Medicine) that the best milk is when it is freshly milked, and its best quality is when it is very white, and it is beneficial for obsessions and grief. He asks: Is this considered...
The Shaykh:
...one of the obsessions?
The questioner:
...and the grief?
The Shaykh:
The grief, yes, indeed.
The questioner:
So is this considered one of the Prophetic treatments for the disease of obsessive thoughts?
The Shaykh:
In any case, Ibn al-Qayyim’s book on medicine is Prophetic Medicine; Ibn al-Qayyim mentions Prophetic Medicine.
