The Use of Oud al-Nad
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: We heard on the program *Nur 'ala al-Darb* about the ruling on using oud al-nad, and that you answered the questioner that it is not recommended to extract it, and you mentioned the cause, which is the substance from which it is made. What is your opinion on it?
Answer:
I do not recall that I issued a fatwa on this; it was likely someone else. As for oud al-nad, I know of nothing wrong with it; its scent is pleasant, and I know of nothing regarding it. If someone else issued a fatwa on it, I do not know. As for me, I have not issued a fatwa on it except via the phone.
