Chinese herbs

· 25 Rajab 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I was wondering what should one do if someone is trying to buy a specific Chinese herb for betterment of health but almost all Chinese companies promote Taoism and Chinese way of thought. Is it ok to buy from them with the correct intention, or is it not permissible due to the fact that you are giving them the means to continue their dawah?

Answer

It is permissible to purchase the Chinese herb from them.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
