Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is the use of medication extracted from cow tendon permissible?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The use of animal-derived substances in medicine is subject to clear guidelines based on purity (taharah), lawful consumption, and necessity<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Hanafi Fiqh<\/strong>,<\/strong> if an animal such as a\u00a0cow<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>is\u00a0slaughtered according to Islamic law, <\/strong>then its parts including\u00a0flesh, bones, tendons, and fat<\/strong> are considered\u00a0pure (<\/strong>T<\/strong>ahir)<\/strong>. Therefore, any medication derived from such parts would be\u00a0permissible (halal)<\/strong>\u00a0for consumption or medical use.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, if the cow is\u00a0not slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines<\/strong>, it is regarded as a\u00a0maytah<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(<\/strong>carrion), and its parts including tendons<\/strong> are impure (Najis)<\/strong>.<\/strong> The use of such substances becomes\u00a0impermissible<\/strong>\u00a0unless under certain conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, if the animal is slaughtered according to Islamic law, then it is permissible to use the medication which is extracted for e.g. from a cow\u2019s tendon.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, In Hanafi Fiqh, medication derived from cow tendon is only permissible if:<\/span><\/p>\n

The cow was slaughtered Islamically (making the source pure).<\/span><\/p>\n

Or, if not halal-slaughtered, the medication is\u00a0necessary, there\u2019s\u00a0no alternative, and it\u2019s prescribed by a\u00a0qualified medical professional.<\/span><\/p>\n
