The questioner:
He says: There are people who bring forty plants from medicinal herbs to treat certain diseases, and they stipulate that this number must be forty plants. Is this action permissible and is this stipulation prescribed?
The Shaykh:
This medicine must be presented to doctors. Does this plant have a property? Does it have a medical property? They analyze it and see. If it has no property, it is prohibited. Second, specifying the number as forty has no evidence for it.
