Treating paralysis with pigeon blood

· 6 Jumada I 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My question is that I have heard many times that patients with paralysis should opt for treatment with pigeon and also the application of the blood of the pigeon on the affected area. It is a common cure for paralysis and evidently very effective. Can you please tell me whether or not this is allowed in Shar'ia purely for treatment and medicinal purposes?

Answer

For medical treatment it is permissible.

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