Dissecting animals for study in Islam


Dissecting animals for study in Islam

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen  رحمه الله

We are studying in one of the universities in the faculty of science, biology division. During our studies we need to dissect some animals, such as frogs, rats and the like, for the purposes of learning and studying. What is the ruling on these dissections? 

He replied:  If there is a need for it, there is nothing wrong with dissection, but he should do something for this animal so that it will not feel any pain at the time of dissection, and he must note that in the case of those animals that are naajis (impure) after death, he has to purify himself of them. 

Fataawa al-Haram al-Makki (1166)

   الشيخ ابن عثيمين

نحن ندرس في إحدى الجامعات بكلية العلوم قسم الأحياء ، وفي أثناء دراستنا نحتاج إلى تشريح بعض الحيوانات ، مثل الضفادع والفئران وغيرها ، لغرض التعليم والدراسة ، فما حكم هذا التشريح ؟

فأجاب :

" التشريح إذا دعت الضرورة إليه فلا بأس به ، ولكن يجب أن يعمل لهذه الحيوانات ما يجعلها لا تحسّ بالألم وقت التشريح ، وكذلك يجب أن يلاحظ أنّ الحيوانات التي تكون نجسةً بعد الموت فإنّه يجب التطهر منها " انتهى .


والله أعلم .

10 things which cause damage, if they are kept inside the body!



10 things which cause damage,
if they are kept inside the body!


The Noble Shaykh Ibn Qayyim-il-Jawziyyah:
"There are ten different things which cause damage if they stay or are kept inside (the body):

1. The Blood if it is on its way out,
2. Sperm,
3. Urine,
4. Excrement,
5. Gas (I.e. fart),
6. The vomit,
7. The Sneeze,
8. The sleep,
9. Hunger,
10. Thirst.

All these ten things lead to some sorts of damage if they are kept (in the body while it
wants to exit it)."
(Zad ul-Maad (4/7))

Question about ruqyah and alternative medicines.


Question about ruqyah and alternative medicines. 

By Shaykh Falaah Ismaeel Mundakar


السؤال:
نحبكم في الله شيخنا، ما حكم فتح عيادة للرقية والطب البديل؟

The Question


-We Love you for the sake of Allah, Oh our Shaykh, what is the ruling on beginning visits with a doctor for ruqyah (Islamic Exorcism of a Jinn) and alternative medicine?

الجواب:
أحبك الله الذي أحببتنا من أجله ووفقنا الله وإياك. ولكن الرقية لا بد ضبطها بالمعايير الشرعية، وننصحك بقراءة كتابنا الرقية الشرعية بين التطبيق والتنزيل. وكثير من الإخوان فتحوا دوراً للرقية الشرعية ثم مالت بهم إما طمعاً وإما فتنةً في النساء أو غيرها والعياذ بالله ؛ فلذلك المحاذير الشرعية ينبغي التنبه لها والضوابط الشرعية لابد من استيفائها ويجب أن تعلم أن السلف لم يجعلوا دوراً للرقية، إنما كان الراقي أو كان القارئ أو قارئ القرآن أو حافظ القرآن إذا طلب منه والعالم والإمام والشيخ وطالب العلم متى ما طلب منه يقرأ ويرقي دون أن يجعل داراً خاصةً لأوقات محددة ورسوم وأموال وغيرها. أما الطب البديل فهذا جائز إن كان في قضايا الأعشاب والأمور المباحة أيضاً كما ذكر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم (اعرضوا علي رقاكم) والرقى والأدوية لا بأس بها ما لم تكن حراماً أو إثماً أو شركاً

The Answer


-May Allah love you because you loved us for His sake, and may Allah make us and you successful. However, the ruqyah it must be with correctness according to the standards of the Shariah (Islamic Law). We advise you to read our book “The Legislated Ruqyah between the Application and the Revelation.” And many brothers conquered these attacks (by the Jinn) by the legislated ruqyah then later inclined to them, either to desires, or a trial with the women, or other then them, and Allah’s protection is sought. So for that the warnings of the shariah are suitable to be paid attention to and the precepts of the shariah must be fulfilled and it is necessary to know that the salaf didn’t make a circle for the ruqyah. It is only the raaqi (exorcist) or the qaari (reciter of al-Quraan) or the haafidh (memorizer) of the Quraan and the scholar and the imam and the shaykh and the student of knowledge when he is sought from he reads or he makes ruqyah. Translator’s note-(it is not from what is recommended however, to ask for a ruqyah to be done on you). Other than that he makes a session especially for appointed periods of time and for a fee and other than it. As for the alternative medicine then this is allowed if it is in the issue of herbs and the permitted affairs as well. Like what the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam mentioned-“turn to using your incantations (ruqyah).” And in the ruqyah and the medicines there is no harm in using them as long as they are not haraam (forbidden in the Quraan and the Sunnah), or if they are a crime or a sin, or shirk (blasphemy, idolatry, or superstition in worship, or worshipping Allah with a partner).

The benefits of drinking camel urine

The benefits of drinking camel urine
I hope that you can provide me with a scientific answer – if such knowledge is available – about the saheeh hadeeth about drinking camel’s urine. May Allaah reward you.
Praise be to Allaah. 
The hadeeth referred to by the questioner is a saheeh hadeeth, in which it says that some people came to Madeenah and fell sick. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told them to drink the milk and urine of camels, and they recovered and grew fat. In the story it also says that they apostatized and killed the camel-herder, then the Muslims caught them and executed them. Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2855) and Muslim (1671). 

With regard to the health benefits of drinking the milk and urine of camels, they are many, and they are well known to the earlier generations of medical science and they have been proven by modern scientific research. 
 
Ibn al-Qayyim said: 

The author of al-Qanoon (the Canon) – i.e. the doctor Ibn Seena (Avicenna) – said:
The most beneficial of urine is the urine of Bedouin camels which are called najeeb. End quote. 

Zaad al-Ma’aad (4/47, 48). 

In the Emirati newspaper al-Ittihaad (issue no. 11172, Sunday 6 Muharram 1427 AH/5 February 2006) it says: 

One of the most important things for which camels are raised is their milk, which is efficacious in treating many illnesses, including hepatitis, and the digestive system in general, various types of cancer and other diseases. 

In an article by Dr Ahlaam al-‘Awadi, which was published in al-Da’wah magazine, issue no. 1938, 25 Safar 1425 AH/15 April 2004 CE, about the diseases which can be treated with camel’s milk, as proven by experience, it says that there are many benefits in camel’s milk. There follows some of what was said in the article by Dr. Ahlaam: 

Camel’s urine is efficacious in the treatment of skin diseases such as ringworm, tinea and abscesses, sores that may appear on the body and hair, and dry and wet ulcers. Camel’s urine brings the secondary benefits of making the hair lustrous and thick, and removing dandruff from the scalp. Camel’s milk is also beneficial in treating hepatitis, even if it has reached an advanced stage where medicine is unable to treat it. End quote. 

In the al-Jazeerah al-Sa’oodiyyah newspaper (issue no. 10132, Rabee’ al-Awwal 1421 AH) there is a quotation from the book Al-Ibl Asraar wa i’jaaz (The camel: secrets and wonders) by Darmaan ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azeez Aal Darmaan and Sanad ibn Mutlaq al-Subay’i: 

As for camel’s urine, the book suggests that it has numerous uses which are beneficial for man. This is indicated by the Prophetic texts and confirmed by modern science … Scientific experiments have proven that camel’s urine has a lethal effect on the germs that cause many diseases. 

Among the uses of camel’s urine, many women use it to wash their hair, to make it longer, and to make it lighter and more lustrous. Camel’s urine is also efficacious in the treatment of swelling of the liver and other diseases such as abscesses, sores that appear on the body and toothache, and for washing eyes. End quote. 

Prof. Dr. ‘Abd al-Fattaah Mahmoud Idrees says: With regard to the benefits of camel’s urine in treating disease, Ibn Seena said in his Qanoon: The most beneficial of urine is the urine of the Bedouin camels known as najeeb. Camel’s urine is beneficial in treating al-hazaaz, and it was said that al-hazzaz is a pain in the heart caused by anger and so on. Camel’s urine, especially the urine of a young she-camel – is used as a cleansing substance to wash wounds and sores, to make the hair grow, to strengthen and thicken it and to prevent it falling out, and it is used to treat diseases of the scalp and dandruff. In a Master’s thesis by an engineer in applied chemistry, Muhammad Awhaaj Muhammad, that was submitted to the faculty of applied chemistry in the al-Jazeerah university in Sudan, and approved by the Dean of science and postgraduate studies in the university in November 1998 CE, entitled A Study of the Chemical Composition and Some Medical Uses of the Urine of Arabian Camels, Muhammad Awhaaj says: 

Laboratory tests indicate that camel’s urine contains high levels of potassium, albuminous proteins, and small amounts of uric acid, sodium and creatine.

In this study, he explained that what prompted him to study the medicinal properties of camel’s urine was what he had seen of some tribesmen drinking this urine whenever they suffered digestion problems. He sought the help of some doctors in studying camel’s urine. They brought a number of patients and prescribed this urine for them, for a period of two months. Their bodies recovered from what they had been suffering from, which proves the efficacy of camel’s urine in treating some diseases of the digestive system. 

It also proves that this urine is useful in preventing hair loss. He says: 

Camel’s urine acts as a slow-acting diuretic, but it does not deplete potassium and other salts as other diuretics do, because camel’s urine contains a high level of potassium and proteins. It has also been proven to be effective against some types of bacteria and viruses. It brought about an improvement in the condition of twenty-five patients who used camel’s urine for dropsy, without disrupting their potassium levels. Two of them were cured of liver pain, and their liver function was restored to normal levels, as well as the tissue of the liver being improved. One of the medicines used to treat blood clots is a compound called Fibrinoltics which works by changing a substance in the body from its inactive form, Plasminogen, to its active form, Plasmin, in order to dissolve the substance that causes clotting, Fibrin. One of the components of this compound is called Urokinase, which is produced by the kidneys or from the urine, as indicated by the name “uro”. 

The dean of the Faculty of Medical Science in the Sudanese al-Jazeerah university, Professor Ahmad ‘Abd-Allaah Ahmadaani, has discovered a practical way of using camel’s urine to treat dropsy and swelling in the liver. Its success has been proven in treating those who are affected by these diseases. He said in a seminar organized by the al-Jazeerah University: 

The experiment began by giving each patient a daily dose of camel’s urine mixed with camel’s milk to make it palatable. Fifteen days after the beginning of the experiment, the patients’ stomachs grew smaller and went back to their normal size. 

He said that he examined the patients’ livers with ultrasound before the study began, and he found out that the livers of fifteen out of the twenty-five were in a cirrhotic state, and some of them had developed cirrhosis of the liver as the result of bilharzia. All of the patients responded to treatment with camel’s urine, and some of them continued, by their own choice, to drink a dose of camel’s urine every day for a further two months. At the end of that time, they were all found to have been cured of cirrhosis of the liver. He said: Camel’s urine contains a large amount of potassium, as well as albumen and magnesium, because the camel only drinks four times during the summer and once during the winter, which makes it retain water in its body so as to preserve the sodium, and the sodium causes it not to urinate a great deal, because it keeps the water in its body. 

He explained that dropsy results from a deficiency of albumen or potassium, and the urine of camels in rich in both of these. 

He suggested that the best type of camels for using the urine as a remedy are young camels. 

Dr. Ahlaam al-‘Awadi, a specialist in microbiology in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, supervised some scientific papers that dealt with her discoveries in the usage of camel’s urine for medical treatment, such as the papers by ‘Awaatif al-Jadeedi and Manaal al-Qattaan. During her supervision of the paper by Manaal al-Qattaan, she succeeded in confirming the effectiveness of using a preparation made from camel’s urine which was the first antibiotic produced in this manner anywhere in the world. Concerning the features of this new product, Dr. Ahlaam said: 

It is not costly, and it is easy to manufacture. It can be used to treat skin diseases such as eczema, allergies, sores, burns, acne, nail infections, cancer, hepatitis and dropsy with no harmful side effects. 

And she said:

Camel’s urine contains a number of healing factors such as antibiotics (bacteria that are present in it, salts and urea). The camel possesses an immune system that is highly equipped to combat funguses, bacteria and viruses, because it contains antibodies. It may also be used to treat blood clots and fibrinolytics may be derived from it, and it may be used to treat dropsy (which is caused by a deficiency in albumen and potassium, as camel’s urine is rich in both). Camel’s urine may also provide a remedy for abdominal complaints, especially those of the stomach and intestines, as well as asthma and shortness of breath. It caused a noticeable reduction in patients’ sugar levels. It is a remedy for low libido, and it aids in bone growth in children and in strengthening the heart muscles. It may be used as a cleansing agent for cleaning wounds and sores, especially the urine of young she-camels. It also helps the hair to grow and become strong and thick, and it helps to prevent hair loss and baldness, and can be used to treat dandruff. Camel’s urine may also be used to combat disease by using bacteria extracted from it. It was used to treat a girl who was suffering from an infection behind the ear, that was accompanied by pus weeping from it and painful cracks and sores. It was also used to treat a girl who was unable to extend the fingers of her hands because of the presence of so many cracks and sores, and whose face was almost black with pimples. 

Dr. Ahlaam said: 

Camel’s urine may also be used to treat the digestive system and to treat some cases of cancer. She stated that the research that she had undertaken on camel’s urine proved that it was effective in destroying micro-organisms such as fungus, yeast and bacteria. 

Dr. Rahmah al-‘Ulyaani, who is also from Saudi Arabia, carried out tests on rabbits infected with bacteria in the colon. She treated each group of rabbits with a different kind of medicine, including camel’s urine. There was a noticeable regression in the rabbits that were treated with other medicines, except for camel’s urine, which brought about a clear improvement. 

Majallat al-Jundi al-Muslim, issue no. 118, 20 Dhu’l-Qa’dah 1425 AH; 1 January 2005 CE. 
 
Allaah calls upon us to ponder the creation of the camel, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Do they not look at the camels, how they are created?”
[al-Ghaashiyah 88:17] 

This pondering is not limited to the outward form of the camel, or even to the inner workings of its body, rather it also includes that which we have discussed here, which is the benefits of the urine and milk of the camel. Modern scientific research is still discovering for us many of the wonders of this creature. 

And Allaah knows best.

Arabic:

أرجو من فضيلتكم تزويدي بالجواب العلمي - إن توصل العلم له - وذلك بشأن الحديث الصحيح عن شرب أبوال الإبل - عافاكم الله -.


الحمد لله


الحديث الذي أشار إليه السائل حديث صحيح ، وفيه أن قوماً جاءوا المدينة النبوية فمرضوا فأشار عليهم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بالشرب من ألبان الإبل وأبوالها ، فصحوا وسمنوا ، وفي القصة أنهم ارتدوا وقتلوا الراعي ، ثم أدركهم المسلمون وقتلوهم .

رواه البخاري ( 2855 ) ومسلم ( 1671 ) .

وأما عن فوائد أبوال وألبان الإبل الصحية فهي كثيرة ، وهي معلومة عند المتقدمين من أهل العلم بالطب ، وقد أثبتتها الأبحاث العلمية الحديثة .

قال ابن القيم رحمه الله :

قال صاحب القانون – أي : الطبيب ابن سينا - :

" وأنفع الأبوال : بول الجمل الأعرابي وهو النجيب " انتهى .

" زاد المعاد " ( 4 / 47 ، 48 ) .

وقد جاء في جريدة " الاتحاد " الإماراتية العدد 11172 ، الأحد 6 محرم 1427 هـ ، 5 فبراير 2006 م :

" أهم ما تربى الإبل من أجله أيضا حليبها ، وله تأثير ( فعَّال ) في علاج كثير من الأمراض ، ومنها ( التهابات الكبد الوبائية ، والجهاز الهضمي بشكل عام وأنواع من السرطان وأمراض أخرى " •

وقد جاء في بحث قامت به الدكتورة " أحلام العوضي " نشر في مجلة " الدعوة " في عددها 1938 ، 25 صفر 1425هـ 15 أبريل 2004 م ، حول الأمراض التي يمكن علاجها بحليب الإبل ، وذلك من واقع التجربة : أن هناك فوائد جمة لحليب الإبل ، وهنا بعض ما جاء في بحث الدكتورة " أحلام " :

" أبوال الإبل ناجعة في علاج الأمراض الجلدية كالسعفة - التينيا- ، والدمامل ، والجروح التي تظهر في جسم الإنسان وشعره ، والقروح اليابسة والرطبة ، ولأبوال الإبل فائدة ثابتة في إطالة الشعر ولمعانه وتكثيفه ، كما يزيل القشرة من الرأس ، وأيضا لألبانها علاج ناجع لمرض الكبد الوبائي ، حتى لو وصل إلى المراحل المتأخرة والتي يعجز الطب عن علاجها "

انتهى

وجاء في صحيفة " الجزيرة السعودية " العدد 10132 ، الأحد ، ربيع الأول 1421 ، نقلاً عن كتاب " الإبل أسرار وإعجاز " تأليف : ضرمان بن عبد العزيز آل ضرمان ، وسند بن مطلق السبيعي ، ما يأتي :

" أما أبوال الإبل فقد أشار الكتاب إلى أن لها استعمالات متعددة مفيدة للإنسان دلت على ذلك النصوص النبوية الشريفة ، وأكَّدها العلم الحديث ، ... وقد أثبتت التجارب العلمية بأن بول الإبل له تأثير قاتل على الميكروبات المسببة لكثير من الأمراض .

ومن استعمالات أبوال الإبل : أن بعض النساء يستخدمنها في غسل شعورهن لإطالتها وإكسابها الشقرة واللمعان ، كما أن بول الإبل ناجع في علاج ورم الكبد وبعض الأمراض ، مثل الدمامل ، والجروح التي تظهر في الجسم ، ووجع الأسنان وغسل العيون " انتهى .

وقال الأستاذ الدكتور عبد الفتاح محمود إدريس :

وأبيِّن في هذا الصدد ما ينفع بول الإبل في علاجه من الأمراض ، قال ابن سينا في " قانونه " : ( أنفع الأبوال بول الجمل الأعرابي وهو " النجيب " ) ، وبول الإبل يفيد في علاج مرض " الحزاز " – الحزاز : قيل : إنه وجع في القلب من غيظ ونحوه - ، وقد استخدمت أبوال الإبل وخاصة بول الناقة البكر كمادة مطهرة لغسل الجروح ، والقروح ، ولنمو الشعر ، وتقويته ، وتكاثره ، ومنع تساقطه ، وكذا لمعالجة مرض القرع ، والقشرة ، وفي رسالة الماجستير المقدمة من مهندس تكنولوجيا الكيمياء التطبيقية " محمد أوهاج محمد " ، التي أجيزت من قسم الكيمياء التطبيقية بجامعة " الجزيرة " بالسودان ، واعتمدت من عمادة الشئون العلمية والدراسات العليا بالجامعة في نوفمبر 1998م بعنوان : ( دراسة في المكونات الكيميائية وبعض الاستخدامات الطبية لبول الإبل العربية ) ، يقول محمد أوهاج :

إن التحاليل المخبرية تدل على أن بول الجمل يحتوي على تركيز عالٍ من : البوتاسيوم ، والبولينا ، والبروتينات الزلالية ، والأزمولارتي ، وكميات قليلة من حامض اليوريك ، والصوديوم ، والكرياتين .

وأوضح في هذا البحث أن ما دعاه إلى تقصي خصائص بول الإبل العلاجية هو ما رآه من سلوك بعض أفراد قبيلة يشربون هذا البول حينما يصابون باضطرابات هضمية ، واستعان ببعض الأطباء لدراسة بول الإبل ؛ حيث أتوا بمجموعة من المرضى ووصفوا لهم هذا البول لمدة شهرين ، فصحت أبدانهم مما كانوا يعانون منه ، وهذا يثبت فائدة بول الإبل في علاج بعض أمراض الجهاز الهضمي .

كما أثبت أن لهذا البول فائدة في منع تساقط الشعر ، ويقول :

إن بول الإبل يعمل كمدر بطيء مقارنة بمادة " الفيروسمايد " ، ولكن لا يخل بملح البوتاسيوم والأملاح الأخرى التي تؤثر فيها المدرات الأخرى ، إذ إن بول الإبل يحتوي على نسبة عالية من البوتاسيوم والبروتينات ، كما أنه أثبت فعالية ضد بعض أنواع البكتيريا والفيروسات ، وقد تحسن حال خمس وعشرين مريضاً استخدموا بول الإبل من الاستسقاء ، مع عدم اضطراب نسبة البوتاسيوم ، واثنان منهم شفوا من آلام الكبد ، وتحسنت وظيفة الكبد إلى معدلها الطبيعي ، كما تحسن الشكل النسيجي للكبد ، ومن الأدوية التي تستخدم في علاج الجلطة الدموية مجموعة تسمى fibrinoltics ، تقوم آلية عمل هذه المجموعة على تحويل مادة في الجسم من صورتها غير النشطة plasminogen إلى الصورة النشطة plasmin، وذلك من أجل أن تتحلل المادة المسببة للتجلط fibrin أحد أعضاء هذه المجموعة هو urokinase الذي يستخرج من خلايا الكلى أو من البول كما يدل الاسم (12 ) (uro) .

وقد كشف عميد كلية المختبرات الطبية بجامعة الجزيرة السودانية البروفسير " أحمد عبد الله أحمداني " عن تجربة علمية باستخدام بول الإبل لعلاج أمراض الاستسقاء وأورام الكبد ، فأثبتت نجاحها لعلاج المرضى المصابين بتلك الأمراض ، وقال في ندوة نظمتها جامعة " الجزيرة " :

إن التجربة بدأت بإعطاء كل مريض يوميّاً جرعة محسوبة من بول الإبل مخلوطاً بلبنها حتى يكون مستساغاً ، وبعد خمسة عشر يوماً من بداية التجربة انخفضت بطون أفراد العينة وعادت لوضعها الطبيعي ، وشفوا تماماً من الاستسقاء .

وذكر أنه جرى تشخيص لأكباد المرضى قبل بداية الدراسة بالموجات الصوتية ، وتم اكتشاف أن كبد خمسة عشر مريضاً من خمس وعشرين في حالة تشمع ، وبعضهم كان مصاباً بتليف الكبد بسبب مرض البلهارسيا ، وقد استجاب جميع المرضى للعلاج باستخدام بول الإبل ، وبعض أفراد العينة من المرضى استمروا برغبتهم في شرب جرعات بول الإبل يوميّاً لمدة شهرين آخرين ، وبعد نهاية تلك الفترة أثبت التشخيص شفاءهم جميعاً من تليف الكبد ، وقال :

إن بول الإبل يحتوي على كمية كبيرة من البوتاسيوم ، كما يحتوي على زلال ومغنسيوم ، إذ إن الإبل لا تشرب في فصل الصيف سوى أربع مرات فقط ومرة واحدة في الشتاء ، وهذا يجعلها تحتفظ بالماء في جسمها لاحتفاظه بمادة الصوديوم ، إذ إن الصوديوم يجعلها لا تدر البول كثيراً ؛ لأنه يرجع الماء إلى الجسم .

وأوضح أن مرض الاستسقاء ينتج عن نقص في الزلال ، أو في البوتاسيوم ، وبول الإبل غني بهما .

وأشار إلى أن أفضل أنواع الإبل التي يمكن استخدام بولها في العلاج هي الإبل البكرية .

وقد أشرفت الدكتورة " أحلام العوضي " المتخصصة في الميكروبيولوجيا بالمملكة العربية السعودية على بعض الرسائل العلمية امتداداً لاكتشافاتها في مجال التداوي بأبوال الإبل ، ومنها رسالتا " عواطف الجديبي " ، و " منال القطان " ، ومن خلال إشرافها على رسالة الباحثة " منال القطان " نجحت في تأكيد فعالية مستحضر تم إعداده من بول الإبل ، وهو أول مضاد حيوي يصنع بهذه الطريقة على مستوى العالم ، ومن مزايا المستحضر كما تقول الدكتورة أحلام :

إنه غير مكلف ، ويسهل تصنيعه ، ويعالج الأمراض الجلدية : كالإكزيما ، والحساسية ، والجروح ، والحروق ، وحب الشباب ، وإصابات الأظافر ، والسرطان ، والتهاب الكبد الوبائي ، وحالات الاستسقاء ، بلا أضرار جانبية ، وقالت :

إن بول الإبل يحتوي على عدد من العوامل العلاجية كمضادات حيوية ( البكتيريا المتواجدة به والملوحة واليوريا ) ، فالإبل تحتوي على جهاز مناعي مهيأ بقدرة عالية على محاربة الفطريات والبكتريا والفيروسات ، وذلك عن طريق احتوائه على أجسام مضادة ، كما يستخدم في علاج الجلطة الدموية ، ويستخرج منه fibrinolytics ، والعلاج من الاستسقاء ( الذي ينتج عن نقص في الزلال أو البوتاسيوم ، حيث إن بول الإبل غني بهما ) ، كما أن في بول الإبل علاجاً لأوجاع البطن وخاصة المعدة والأمعاء ، وأمراض الربو وضيق التنفس ، وانخفاض نسبة السكر في المرضى بدرجة ملحوظة ، وعلاج الضعف الجنسي ، ويساعد على تنمية العظام عند الأطفال ، ويقوي عضلة القلب ، ويستخدم كمادة مطهرة لغسل الجروح والقروح ، وخاصة بول الناقة البكر ، ولنمو الشعر وتقويته وتكاثره ومنع تساقطه ، ولمعالجة مرض القرع والقشرة ، كما يستخدم بول الإبل في مكافحة الأمراض بسلالات بكتيرية معزولة منه ، وقد عولجت به فتاة كانت تعاني من التهاب خلف الأذن يصاحبه صديد وسوائل تصب منها ، مع وجود شقوق وجروح مؤلمة ، كما عولجت به فتاة لم تكن تستطيع فرد أصابع كفيها بسبب كثرة التشققات والجروح ، وكان وجهها يميل إلى السواد من شدة البثور ، وتقول الدكتورة أحلام :

إن أبوال الإبل تستخدم أيضاً في علاج الجهاز الهضمي ، ومعالجة بعض حالات السرطان ، وأشارت إلى أن الأبحاث التي أجرتها هي على أبوال الإبل أثبتت فاعليتها في القضاء على الأحياء الدقيقة كالفطريات والخمائر والبكتريا .

وأجرت الدكتورة " رحمة العلياني " من المملكة العربية السعودية أيضاً تجارب على أرانب مصابة ببكتريا القولون ، حيث تم معالجة كل مجموعة من الأرانب المصابة بداوء مختلف ، بما في ذلك بول الإبل ، وقد لوحظ تراجع حالة الأرانب المصابة التي استخدم في علاجها الأدوية الأخرى باستثناء بول الإبل الذي حقق تحسناً واضحاً .

" مجلة الجندي المسلم " العدد 118 ، 20 ذو القعدة 1425 هـ ، 1 / 1 / 2005 م .

وقد دعانا الله تعالى إلى التأمل في خلق الإبل بقوله : ( أَفَلا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى الإبل كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ) الغاشية/17 ، وهذا التأمل ليس قاصراً على شكل الجمل الظاهري ، بل ولا أجهزة جسمه الداخلية ، بل يشمل أيضاً ما نحن بصدد الكلام عنه ، وهو فوائد أبوال وألبان الإبل . ولا تزال الأبحاث العلمية الحديثة تبين لنا كثيراً من عجائب هذا المخلوق .

Camel Urine and Milk as Shifa'a

Camel Urine and Milk as Shifa'a


Narrated Abu Qilaba: "Anas said, "Some people of 'Ukl or 'Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they went as directed and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away all the camels. The news reached the Prophet early in the morning and he sent (men) in their pursuit and they were captured and brought at noon. He then ordered to cut their hands and feet (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, They were put in 'Al-Harra' and when they asked for water, no water was given to them." Abu Qilaba said, "Those people committed theft and murder, became infidels after embracing Islam and fought against Allah and His Apostle .  (Sahih Bukhari, Ablutions (Wudu'), Volume 1, Book 4, Number 234)"

The Ruling Concerning Performing a Cesarean Section



The Ruling Concerning Performing a Cesarean Section

This issue occurs in o­ne of four situations:


1. That the mother is alive and the baby is alive:  In which case it is not permissible to do any surgical operation except under necessity such as when delivery becomes difficult, etc.  This is because it is not permissible to perform operation when there is no need, as the body is a trust that must be cared for by every person.  He must not do anything that threatens it except for a more useful goal, because the operation may harm the child. 2. That both mother and child are dead:  Here, it is not permissible to perform the operation for there is no benefit in it.

3. That the mother is alive while the child is dead:  Here it is permissible to perform operation to remove it.  Because, obviously – and Allah knows best – it will not be removed except by an operation.     

•  If there is a fear for the mother with the operation, it is not permissible to perform the operation as the fear of the harm prevents doing what may benefit.     
•  If the possibility of harm is very low, and the child may continue to remain in her womb, then there is no problem with the operation, because the continued existence of the baby in her womb prevents her from pregnancy.

4. That the mother is dead while the baby is alive:  Hanbali scholars have stated that it is forbidden to operate in order to remove the child.  Their reason for this ruling is that is involves mutilation and a transgression upon an honour that is existent for the sake of a life supposed to be existent, except where part of the child has started coming out, in which case it is allowed to operate to bring out the rest.  They said, ‘it is allowed for a midwife to pounce o­n it so as to force it out’.Ibnul-Qayyim stated in his book – I’laa, al-Muwaaqqi’een [3/413] – that is was said to Imam Ahmad that Sufyaan was asked concerning a woman who died with a baby moving in her womb, that he said: “I don’t see anything wrong with slitting her stomach to remove it.”  o­n hearing this, Ahmad said:  ‘Evil indeed is what he said.’  And he continued to repeat that, saying ‘Subhaanallah – glory be to Allah, ‘Evil indeed is what he said.’I say [the author], the reasoning of our scholars, which is that this involves mutilation, implies that it should be permissible in these days since the operation does not involve any mutilation.     

•  Based o­n this, the correct view is that of Sufyaan, which is that it is compulsory (Waajib) to operate if there is a high probability of the baby’s safety,     
•  Or strongly encouraged (Mustahab), if it is likely that he survives,     
•  And permissible (Mubaah), where there is a low chance of its survival.This is so because of many reasons:

One: Because it is based o­n that which was forbidden by our scholars, their reason no longer existent as, o­nce the stomach is incised and then stitched back, after removing the baby, there is no mutilation.

Two: The honour of the living is greater than that of the dead.  So, if we were to assume that incising her stomach involves dishonouring her, then doing that is less than dishonouring the living (baby which is exposed to death).

Three: The baby is a living and honourable human being exposed to death, and operating to remove it involves saving a human soul from death, which is compulsory, as the benefit can be achieved without any harm.

Four: That our scholars have permitted operating the case of a child who is half into the world, to remove the rest – based o­n the reason that his life is known (for sure), whereas before it comes out its life is o­nly imaginary – implies that there shouldn’t be a difference between the two situations, before or after it has started coming out, so long as we are sure of its life.

Five: The benefit in it outweighs the harm and it is well known that Islam either compels Muslims or encourages them (to do things) whenever their benefit is higher than their harm; For there is no doubt that incising the stomach of a dead, pregnant woman, to save her baby is a benefit that outweighs the harm in it.  Hence, the thing boils down to either being compulsory  or encouraged, or (at worst) permissible, according to the level of hope in saving the life of the child, or otherwise.

Medication during the Day in Ramadaan


Medication during the Day in Ramadaan


Al-Imaam Ibn 'Uthaymeen 
Fiqh al-'Ibaadaat : P. 223

I am a young man who suffers from an illness which I have had for a number of years. I use medicine that I cannot do without, even during the day in Ramadaan, because if I stop taking my medication I would be in a lot of pain and would be putting my health at risk. Is there a sin upon me in doing so and what do you advise me to do?


The questioner did not mention the type of medicine that he uses, if it is in the form of injections then this does not harm or break his fast.

If however it is something you eat or drink, and the illness that you suffer from is always with you, and you do not believe you will be cured, in such a case you take the ruling of the old person who is unable to fast, you are obligated to feed a poor person for every day missed and fasting is not an obligation in your case due to the saying of Allaah the Elevated:

{ So keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can} [At Taghaabun: 16]

Ibn ‘Abbaas may Allaah be pleased with him, stated concerning Allaah’s statement:

{ And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskeen (needy person) (for every day). } [Al Baqarah: 184]

He said: He is the Shaykh (i.e old man), If he is unable to fast, he is to feed a poor person for every day missed.

He is to feed the amount of one Saa’ for every five people, and likewise until the end of the month and Allaah is the Granter of success.

7 Cures in Al Qist al Hindee




7 Cures in Al Qist al Hindee



Reference: Fat-h al Baaree : Vol 12. P.206
Author: Al Haafidh bn Hajar al 'Asqalaanee


Abu Bakr ibn al ‘Arabee stated:

‘Qist (Costus) is of two types: Hindee (Indian) - which is black, and Bahree which is white. Al Qist al Hindee is hotter than al Bahree.”


Ummu Qays bint Mihsan said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah - صلى الله عليه وسلم - say:

“It is upon you to use ‘Al ‘Uood al Hindee’ [i.e. Qist/Costus], for indeed it contains seven cures; it is inhaled through the nostrils to relive throat aches/tonsillitis and placed in the sides of the mouth for the relief of Dhaat al Janb [1]” [Collected by Bukhaaree and Muslim.]

In another narration that will be explained after two chapters:


“I approached the Prophet - صلى الله عليه وسلم - with a son of mine while pressing his tonsils due to tonsillitis, so he said: “You should use al Qist al Hindee.” [Collected by Bukharee and Muslim.]

Al Imaam Ahmad and the authors of the Sunnan collected a Hadeeth on the authority of Jaabir that the Messenger of Allaah - صلى الله عليه وسلم – said:

“If a child is inflicted with tonsillitis or a headache, then let his mother take al Qist al Hindee, scrub it with water and let him inhale it as droplets through his nostrils.”

In a Hadeeth narrated by Anas that will be explained after two chapters he said:

"The best thing to cure yourselves with is Hijaamah and al Qist al Bahree.”

It is understood from this Hadeeth that it is a cure for all pains, al Qist al Hindee is used when hot medicine is needed for treatment, and al Bahree was described as milder, because al Hindee is hotter than al Bahree as has already been explained.

His statement:

“For indeed it has seven cures...”

In this Hadeeth, only two types of cures were mentioned and not seven, so either the narrator sufficed himself with mentioning only two while all seven were mentioned by the Messenger, or the Messenger mentioned only two due to being the only two of the seven in existence at the time. The second possibility seems to be stronger as will be explained shortly.

Doctors have mentioned that from the benefits of al Qist are:

* It eases the menstrual flow.
* It eases the flow of urine.
* It kills worms in the bowels.
* It repels poison.
* It repels fever.
* It heats the stomach.
* It increases sexual desire.
* It removes facial spots.


So more than seven cures were mentioned, some scholars explained that seven cures were known through revelation, and the rest through experience, so only seven were mentioned because of their certainty. Other scholars said that he only mentioned what was needed because he was not sent with the details of such issues.

I say [al Haafidh]:

There is a possibility that the ‘seven’ mentioned in the Hadeeth are seven methods which are the basis of how it is used as treatment; because it is either rubbed in, drank, Takmeed, Tandheel, breathed in as a smoke [incense], inhaled as liquid drops through the nostrils or placed at the sides of the mouth.

Rubbing it in is done by mixing it with oil and creams until it is smooth, likewise is Takmeed.

To drink it, it is crushed into a powder and mixed with honey, water or other liquids, likewise is Tanteel.

It is inhaled by mixing it with oil and putting droplets of it in the nostrils.

Inhaling it as smoke is clear.

With each method, there are different healing benefits, and such eloquence, coming from one who was given Jawaami al Kalim[2], should not be surprising.

سبعة أشفية في القسط الهندي
المرجع: فتح الباري : 12 ص.206المؤلف :الحافظ ابن حجر العسقلانيالباب: الطب
قال أبو بكر بن العربي القسط نوعان : هندي وهو أسود ، وبحري وهو أبيض ، والهندي أشدهما حرارة .

عن أم قيس بنت محصن قالت سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول

عليكم بهذا العود الهندي فإن فيه سبعة أشفية يستعط به من العذرة ويلد به من ذات الجنب
كذا وقع هنا مختصرا ، ويأتي بعد أبواب في أوله قصة " أتيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بابن لي وقد أعلقت عليه من العذرة فقال:

عليكن بهذا العود الهندي
وأخرج أحمد وأصحاب السنن من حديث جابر مرفوعا

أيما امرأة أصاب ولدها عذرة أو وجع في رأسه فلتأخذ قسطا هنديا فتحكه بماء ثم تسعطه إياه
وفي حديث أنس الآتي بعد بابين

إن أمثل ما تداويتم به الحجامة والقسط البحري
وهو محمول على أنه وصف لكل ما يلائمه ، فحيث وصف الهندي كان لاحتياج في المعالجة إلى دواء شديد الحرارة ، وحيث وصف البحري كان دون ذلك في الحرارة ، لأن الهندي كما تقدم أشد حرارة من البحري

قوله : ( يستعط به من العذرة ، ويلد به من ذات الجنب )

كذا وقع الاقتصار في الحديث من السبعة على اثنين ، فإما أن يكون ذكر السبعة فاختصره الراوي أو اقتصر على الاثنين لوجودهما حينئذ دون غيرهما ، وسيأتي ما يقوي الاحتمال الثاني .

وقد ذكر الأطباء من منافع القسط:

أنه يدر الطمث والبول
ويقتل ديدان الأمعاء
ويدفع السم وحمى الربع والورد
ويسخن المعدة
ويحرك شهوة الجماع
ويذهب الكلف طلاء
فذكروا أكثر من سبعة ، وأجاب بعض الشراح بأن السبعة علمت بالوحي وما زاد عليها بالتجربة ، فاقتصر على ما هو بالوحي لتحققه وقيل ذكر ما يحتاج إليه دون غيره لأنه لم يبعث بتفاصيل ذلك قلت : ويحتمل أن تكون السبعة أصول صفة التداوي بها ؛ لأنها إما طلاء أو شرب أو تكميد أو تنطيل أو تبخير أو سعوط أو لدود ؛ فالطلاء يدخل في المراهم ويحلى بالزيت ويلطخ ، وكذا التكميد ، والشرب يسحق ويجعل في عسل أو ماء أو غيرهما ، وكذا التنطيل ، والسعوط يسحق في زيت ويقطر في الأنف ، وكذا الدهن ، والتبخير واضح ، وتحت كل واحدة من السبعة منافع لأدواء مختلفة ولا يستغرب ذلك ممن أوتي جوامع الكلم
