Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner Abu Mu'adh says: May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh. It is well known that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) compared the hypocrite to the hanzhal, which is the tree, that is, the hanzhal tree. Some people use this fruit to treat certain diseases. What is the ruling on that? May you be rewarded.
Answer:
I do not know of anything wrong with it. If it is beneficial, I do not know of anything wrong with it. Even if it is like the hypocrite, I do not know of any harm in this. If doctors have tested it and found that it is beneficial for some diseases, there is nothing wrong with it.Sunan Abi Dawud 3874Da'if (Al-Albani), Praise be to Allah.
