Are fruits and vegetables injected with hormones forbidden if they cause an increase in hormones in their consumers, regardless of whether they are masculinizing or feminizing?
Consuming what harms one's health is forbidden by Islamic law, even if it was originally permissible. Therefore, if the harm of hormones is proven, then it is not permissible to consume foods containing them, provided that the harm is proven definitively and not by mere suspicion, because the default ruling is permissibility.
