What is the ruling on treatment using boiled and drunk ground dead bees, bee milk extracted from squeezing male larvae, and boiled and drunk wax moth excrement?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the mentioned insects are beneficial in treating some diseases, then there is no objection to using them; because they are pure and do not become impure by death, and likewise their excretions. This is indicated by the purity of honey, despite what dead bees may fall into it. And whatever does not have flowing blood, such as scorpions, beetles, flies, and ants, is pure. The urine of these insects is not impure.
