Taking olive oil orally

· 17 Shaʻban 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it sunnah to take olive oil orally as it has multiple benefits. Is it the same as applying olive oil on the skin?

Answer

Yes.

Both are beneficial and each has its own benefits.

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