Question

I was wondering, since we as Muslims need to break away totally from all forms of shirk, is it permissible to drink tea from companies that use doasit, or ayurvedic medicine? I have a legitimate illness.

Answer

If any of the contents of their products are doubtful then one should refrain from such doubtful products.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
