Ayurvedic medicines have been known to be herbal products.

Question

Ayurvedic medicines have been known to be herbal products. SANHA has recently announced that these medicines contain many haraam ingredients such as urine, faeces, cat testicles, pig substances, ox bile, and many more. Although SANHA has mentioned these haraam ingredients, it has stopped short of pronouncing Ayurvedic medicines haraam. Are these medicines haraam?

Answer

SANHA is a carrion halaalizer. All carrion halaalizers recoil at the word 'HARAAM" irrespective of the ingredients being pork, blood, cat testicles, faeces, urine, etc. Since SANHA is a mercenary organization whose primary or perhaps only motive is the haraam riba boodle it acquires from its haraam 'halaal' certificate trade, it dreads the word 'haraam'. It may not even dream of proclaiming Ayurvedic products haraam because it (SANHA) pronounces Rainbow and Earlybird haraam carrion chickens to be 'halaal' despite having withdrawn its confounded 'halaal' certificate from the other so-called 'value-added' carrion chicken products. So while SANHA has conceded that Rainbow's 'valueadded' products are haraam without mentioning the term 'haraam', it feels constrained to leave a window open regarding the filth of Ayurvedic medicines. SANHA therefore peddles the idea that such products of Ayurveda which "do not" contain urine and faeces, that is, on the labels, are 'halaal'. According to the Shariah, all the products of an entity dealing with urine, faeces, cat testicles, ox bile and many more items of filth and haraam, are HARAAM. There is no distinction in the products made by such a miserable institution. On the basis of SANHA's findings all Ayurvedic medicines are HARAAM.
