Eating the date palm shoot and the reason for the Prophet’s dislike of it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it disliked to eat the date palm shoot because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked eating it?
The Shaykh:
The Messenger disliked eating it as a natural dislike, not a religious one, because it was not in the land of his people, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was not accustomed to eating it, or he disliked it as a natural dislike, which is a type of dislike for permissible things.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Because it is good, and it does not eat except from what is good. It eats grass and plants, meaning it eats some of the good plants. Yes, it does not eat the impure things. It eats from the grass. Yes.
