The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: The proponents of scientific miracles took from the saying of Allah the Exalted, "And the fig and the olive," a miraculous point, which is that if figs are eaten with olives, it is an effective cure
The Shaykh:
Yes?
The questioner:
which is that if figs are eaten with olives, it is an effective cure for a number of incurable diseases, and they conducted experiments on this which they mentioned. So is this matter taken from this verse?
The Shaykh:
There are benefits in them. In them are benefits, lessons, and signs. If what they say is verified, then it falls within the wonders of these two trees. Yes. But we do not assert this, and it is not permissible to assert that this is the meaning of the verse; it is not permissible to assert this.
