Question:
May Allah reward you. This brother, the questioner, says: Shaykh, regarding the Shari'ah texts concerning the consumption of honey, specifically bee honey, but I find it difficult to consume it in the morning because it is hot for my stomach. Will the pain in my stomach and belly disappear if I keep consuming it?
Answer:
If it causes you harm, do not consume it. It is a cure, but it is not taken for the sake of harm; rather, it is taken for healing and treatment. So if you are harmed by it, do not take it, and consult a doctor about this. Medicine today, praise be to Allah, has advanced, and the doctor will guide you to what is suitable for you.
