''Answer'' | ''Answer'' | ||
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger. | |||
Al-Bukhari may Allaah have mercy upon him reported from Abu Qulaba may Allaah have mercy upon him from Anas may Allaah be pleased with him that he said, | |||
"The climate of Madeenah did not suit some people who came from 'Ukul or 'Uraynah. So, the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) ordered them to follow his shepherd, i.e. his camels, and drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). Thus, they followed the shepherd, (i.e., the camels) and drank their milk and urine until their bodies became healthy. Then they killed the shepherd and took the camels away. When the news reached the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) he sent some people in their pursuit. When they were brought, he cut their hands and feet and their eyes were branded with heated iron bars and they were left in Al-Harra until they died in that state. " | |||
Abu Qulaba may Allaah have mercy upon him said, "They reverted to disbelief after conversion to Islam, stole and killed. In fact, they fought Allaah and His Messenger." | |||
There is evidence from this Hadeeth that the milk and urine of camels is a treatment for some diseases. This is mentioned expressly in the Hadeeth narrated by Ibn 'Abbaas may Allaah be pleased with him from the Messenger of Allaah The Almighty that he said: "The milk and urine of camels is a cure for those who suffer from (stomach) indigestion." [Ahmad] | |||
An-Nasaa'i, may Allaah have mercy upon him, reported from Anas may Allaah be pleased with him about the people of 'Ukal and 'Uraynah, "When their skins became yellowish and their bellies got very big, the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) sent them to his camels and ordered them to drink its milk and urine." | |||
Ibn Al-Qayyim may Allaah have mercy upon him considered this an 'authentic Prophetic medicine'. | |||

{{Quote|1=[ | {{Quote|1=[https://fiqh.islamonline.net/en/urine-and-excrement-of-edible-animals-pure/ Urine and Excrement of Edible Animals: Pure?]<BR>Islam Online, July 14, 2003|2=Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan, the Hanafi scholar, agreed with Imam Malik with regard to considering the urine of the edible animals pure. He cited as evidence for this the hadith in which Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed for the people of `Uraynah to drink the urine and milk of camels as a treatment. Had the urine of camels been impure, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not have prescribed it for them as a treatment, for Allah would not make unlawful things be treatments for Muslims.<BR>. . .<BR> | ||
Ibn Taymiyyah gave in detail the evidence for regarding the excrement of the edible animals pure. Among this evidence is the hadith reported by Anas ibn Malik to the effect that some people from `Akal or `Uraynah came to Madinah but their health was affected by its weather. Upon knowing that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that some camels be brought and that they drink from their urine and milk. According to Ibn Taymiyyah, on drinking the urine of camels, those people's mouths, hands, clothes, and vessels were to be contaminated with the urine. Had such urine been impure, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have clarified that to them and ordered them to purify their hands, mouths and clothes upon performing Prayer, and to clean their vessels of the filth. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do so. This shows that the urine is not impure. In addition to that, he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the urine with the milk, and this indicates that they are equal, or at least casts doubts regarding the urine's being impure. Besides, he (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed the camels' urine and milk as treatment. Had their urine been impure, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not have prescribed it, for he would never prescribe something unlawful. | Ibn Taymiyyah gave in detail the evidence for regarding the excrement of the edible animals pure.
