The question

Is it permissible to publish an article claiming that the joint, in its medical sense, is the same as the joint or "salamah" mentioned in the Prophetic Hadith, and that differentiates between the number of joints and the number of bones, and cites foreign websites that confirm the existence of 360 joints?

The answer

It is stated in the noble that the human body contains 360 joints. A "joint" in the Arabic language is the meeting point of bones. The hadith of Aisha explained this by stating that the salaama are the joints. The hadith indicates that whoever performs good deeds equal to the number of these joints (such as , removing harm, and enjoining good) has distanced themselves from the Hellfire. If scientific research confirms this number, there is no harm in publicizing it to increase certainty, while relying on trustworthy specialists.
