Is Eating Soil Makrooh?

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Salejee

Q: I would like to know if it’s makrooh tanzeehi or makrooh tahreemi to eat mitti (soil)?

Bismillaah

A: It is makrooh. (Text of Qadhi Khan: Consuming sand is makrooh because it is harmful and will result in him killing himself.)

ویکره أکل الطین لأن ذلک یضر فیصیر قاتلاً نفسه (فتاویٰ قاضي خان علی هامش الفتاوی الهندیة: ۳/۴۰۳)
