Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: According to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Bulugh al-Maram 14, is this command obligatory, such that one must dip it and then drink?
Answer:
No. If he wants to drink it, he should dip the fly and not pour out the drink and waste it. He should dip the fly because one of its wings contains a disease and the other contains a cure. This is an antidote to the disease in its wing, because it protects itself with its wing. The fly protects itself with its wing. He dips the wing that has the disease and lifts the one that has the cure. So you dip it in order for the antidote to work. Yes.
