The answer

The basic principle concerning beverages is permissibility, except for what is proven to be intoxicating or harmful, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Every intoxicant is Khamr, and every intoxicant is forbidden," and his saying: "Whatever intoxicates in large quantities, a small quantity of it is forbidden." Based on this, as long as it is not known that Mate tea is intoxicating or harmful, and it is not proven that it is derived from animal dung, then it is permissible.
