Question

 

Is the conqueror root impermissible to use since some people worship it?

 

Answer

 

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.

It will not be impermissible to use this root plant if it has medicinal properties, and it is advised to be taken by a qualified herbalist and alternative practitioner.

Ajwa Dates

The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) divinely instructed us about the Ajwa dates for wholesome benefits.‘Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) as saying, “The ‘ajwa dates of al-‘Aliya contain healing, and they are an antidote (when taken as) first thing in the morning.” [Muslim]

Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) as saying, “The ‘ajwa dates of ‘Aliya taken as the first thing in the morning, in the state of fasting; contain healing for all (kinds of) magic or toxins.” [Musnad Ahmad]
