Eating produce that contains hormones
Question: 21418
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Eating anything that is harmful to one’s health is haraam, even if it is something that in principle is good and permissible. If it is proven that these hormones are harmful, then it is not permissible to eat these foods. But it has to be proven that they are harmful, and this should not be the matter of mere doubt, because the basic principle is that they are permissible.
