Vinegar as a Blessed Food:- Hadith (Sahih Muslim):- Jabir ibn Abdullah رضي الله عنه reported:- The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “What a good food vinegar is.” Arabic: نِعْمَ الْإِدَامُ الْخَلُّ (Sahih Muslim 2051) This Hadith highlights the virtue and praise of vinegar as a simple and blessed condiment or side dish (idam), which was commonly eaten with bread. ✅ 2. Simplicity of the Prophet’s Diet Hadith (Sunan Ibn Majah):- The Prophet ﷺ said:- “Vinegar is a good condiment.” Reference: Sunan Ibn Majah 3318 Graded: Sahih by Al-Albani This shows the simplicity and modesty in the lifestyle of the Prophet ﷺ, and that vinegar was a regular part of his meals. ✅ 3. Sunnah of Using Natural Remedies While vinegar is not explicitly mentioned as a medicine in Hadith, it falls under the broad category of natural remedies that the Prophet ﷺ recommended and used. Using vinegar (especially raw and unfiltered) aligns with the Sunnah of maintaining health through natural, halal, and simple means. *Vinegar in Islamic Medicine* Many classical Islamic scholars and physicians (like Ibn al-Qayyim and Ibn Sina) also discussed vinegar in their medical books: • It helps cool the stomach, purifies the blood, and supports digestion. • They recommended it for inflammation, skin diseases, and detoxification. *Is All Vinegar Halal?* Yes — vinegar is halal, including apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, etc., even if it originally came from wine or alcohol, as long as it is fully transformed (i.e., fermentation is complete) and no intoxicating effects remain. This is the opinion of many scholars, based on the concept of Istihalah (chemical transformation)."
