Question

Is it permissible to ingest and apply seal oil on the skin?

Answer

It is only permissible for external use. However, if there is no halaal alternative available for the ailment one is experiencing, then it is permissible for one to consume it as a medication.

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