The Emergence of a New Treatment for Diabetes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Recently, especially in the Hijaz, something called "al-Zahrah" has appeared. It is a type of algae oil that is placed in water, and after a week, they add tea, sugar, and water to it.
The Shaykh: And where do they put it?The questioner: They put it in the middle of the tea, water, and sugar, and it remains for a full week. The Shaykh: What is being put in?The questioner: Something like a spleen, which they call "al-Zahrah."
The Shaykh: Tell me: a tree.
The questioner: Yes, they call it "al-Zahrah," and it is a type of spleen, and if it remains for a full week, it develops a smell similar to that of intoxicants, approximately.So these people say: It is claimed to be a cure for all diseases, and it has started to spread now in the Hijaz to a very great extent, to the point that people are booking up to a year in advance.And they say: It is not permissible to sell it; rather, it must be distributed for free. So what is the ruling on this action, O Shaykh?The Shaykh: I have not heard of this.
The questioner: It has appeared, and it has been six months.
The Shaykh: If this is true, it will close all the hospitals, since it is a cure for every ailment.
The questioner: They say: It is a treatment for diabetes.
The Shaykh: If a person suffering from diabetes eats sugar, his condition rises and he perishes.
The questioner: If he drinks from this, he is cured of it.
The Shaykh: The person suffering from diabetes?The questioner: Yes, that is correct.
The Shaykh: Specifically?The questioner: Yes, that is correct.
The Shaykh: So, praise be to Allah, the hardship is gone from us now.
The questioner: But O Shaykh, if it is established that it is spreading, is there any harm?The Shaykh: By Allah, my brother! Look, something that is without knowledge, you do not believe in it.
The questioner: And if it is established through experiments?The Shaykh: I do not know, have you tried it?The questioner: No, we have not tried it. The Shaykh: Has any of your relatives tried it?The questioner: Yes, that is correct.
The Shaykh: What are they suffering from?The questioner: From diabetes.
The Shaykh: And were they cured of it?The questioner: They say: The disease decreased significantly.
The Shaykh: If a person stops eating sweets and increases his consumption of bitter things, the condition sometimes decreases. They say that for the person suffering from diabetes, it decreases more than necessary. They say: Stop, because the person suffering from diabetes is unbalanced. If it sometimes decreases a lot and drops a lot, then regulation is necessary.
In any case, I know nothing about this and I do not recommend it. Something that has no foundations cannot be accepted.
