Is it permissible for children to drink strange water?

Question:
Another person asks about the strange water used for children, especially before sleep. It is observed that when the child drinks it, it feels as if the child is drugged, or a state of relaxation comes over him, which leads the child to sleep, and to sleep deeply?

Answer:
I know nothing about this. I do not know anything about this water, and nothing has been reported to me about it. However, it is known that there are many things that bring sleep from plants. One may need this to put children to sleep, or for people with illnesses and injuries. One may need things that bring sleep to them. So, what brings sleep when there is a need is permissible, and there is no harm in it. This applies to children, the sick, the injured, and others who suffer from pain, provided that it does not intoxicate but only brings sleep. Doctors, non-doctors, and those who deal with plants have mentioned that, by the permission of Allah, there are plants that, if a person inhales them or if some of them enters his nose, bring him sleep and induce sleep. This may be needed at times due to excessive pain, a child’s crying, or something similar. Yes.
