Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is the gourd tree that grew over Yunus (peace be upon him) the same as the pumpkin tree, as is common among people?
Answer:
Yes, they say it is the tree called the "Najd," because flies never land on the Najd. Keep in mind that if you have a Najd tree on which flies do not land, that is the gourd tree. Yes.
