Being everywhere is not an argument for permissibility. This world is a test. We have to chose wisely not our whims and desire. • See the attached image from a book The Journal of Legal Pluralism page 106 where they have written all school consider it haram. Saudi web also dont recommend it As I said earlier, if it changes its form and cannot intoxicate in large quantities then there is no problem but you need to be sure about it. if unsure, I myself will abstain from it to be on safe side. Again, availability in Mecca/madina is not an argument for permissibility. it should be in accordance withthe principles determined by Quran and sunnah. Oh it’s part of garam masala called jaiphal in Urdu. (Google) There is nothing causing intoxication in it and nothing which causes loss of consciousness.

Khskhas may cause drowsiness but is commonly used in food. Even that is not declared haram. Then how and who has declared it haram. • Brother, actually some people accidentally ate it in little high quantity and reported dizziness and intoxicated. So from las...

It is evident from the point of view of knowledge that nutmeg contains a narcotic substance and Ibn Hajar Al-Haitami issued a formal legal opinion in the past on the prohibition of taking it. The recommendations of the Eighth Symposium of the Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences came as follows: Anesthetic or narcotic substance is forbidden, and taking it is not allowed except for the purpose of special medical treatment with an amount that physicians (doctors) prescribed. There is no prohibition in using Nutmeg and the likes, to enhance food flavor (aroma) with a small quantity that will not cause stimulation or sedation. Share

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani Question: I have been reading on the permissibility of using nutmeg, (؏وز؊ الطيب), in food or as a traditional medicine. It seems the majority of the scholars of the four mathaahab declared it haram. But I have read that many contemporary scholars have given fatwa that using nutmeg in small non-intoxicating amounts with the purpose of flavoring food is permissible. Can you report what contemporary reliable scholars have reported regarding this, especially as nutmeg is in many foods. Answer: Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, Nutmeg is permitted in the Hanafi school as food or medicine, as long as it isn’t in intoxicating amounts. [Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar; Tahtawi/Shurunbulali, Hashiyat Maraqi al-Falah] There are similar positions in the Shafi`i school. wassalam, Faraz Rabbani عد المحتار – (4 / 208) وأن البنج ونحوه من الجامدات إنما يحرم ؼذا أعاد به السكر وهو الكثير منه دون القليل المراد به التداوي ونحوه، كالتطبب بالعنبر و؏وز؊ الطيب، ونظير ذلك ما كان سميا قتالا كالمحمودة وهي السقمونيا ونحوها من الادوية السمية، فإن استعمال القليل منها جائز، بخلاف القدر المضر فإنه يحرم، فافهم واغتنم هذا التحرير. حاشية الطحاوي على المراقي – (2 / 279) وؾعح اب...

It is also permissible to apply medicines that contain such intoxicants.
