Ask Qul - Food & Drinks - fertilized fruits and veges

Pearl of Wisdom

to Fadl b. Yunus said, 'Do good and speak only good, and do not be an opportunist.' I asked, 'What does it mean to be an opportunist?' He said, 'Do not say: I am with the people and I am one of the people.'' The Prophet (SAWA) said, ?O people, there are two paths: the path of good and the path of evil, so the path of evil should not be more loved by you than the path of good.'

Imam Musa ibn Jafar al-Kadhim [as]

Question : #530

Category: Food & Drinks

Subject:	fertilized fruits and veges
Question:	Is there a problem eating vegetables grown without chemical fertilizer (Biological label). It means that generally the chemicals are replaced by a dryed blood coumpound which is used as a fertilizer. The powdered blood is sprinkled on the floor some month before the crop and is made of animal blood (of course not slaughtered islamically and of course may contain pig blood also). Please can you give me the rulings about this matter ? I am a follower of Seyyed Sistani (may he live long).
Answer:	There is no harm in eating vegetables or fruits grown in the method you described. Fertilizers have generally been known to contain animal refuse, but the process of fertilizing does not necessarily transfer the najasat. With Salaams and Duas
