The Shaykh : It appears that there is nothing wrong with it. For example, if we assume that one chews gum to drive away sleep, there are people in cars now who use gum while driving. As for sunflower seeds, we do not approve of them, even if they are used to ward off sleep, we do not approve of them. Yes, Ahmad?
