Two Turkish men were hospitalized on arrival to Turkey after drinking camel's milk and urine while on an umrah visit, daily Hürriyet reported.
The men believed the camel's milk and urine to be good for health, claiming it was written in a hadith. An imam, according to the Turkish men, also drank the milk and urine with them.
The visitors were hospitalized due to high fever and unusual levels of liver enzymes. Further tests revealed that the two men had been infected with the "alkhurma" virus, reportedly catching the virus from the milk.
The alkhurma virus is very dangerous and highly contagious and has a fatality rate of 25 to 35 percent, daily Hürriyet reported.
İhsan Özkes, a retired religious cleric and current member of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), denied the existence of any hadith that would encourage people to drink camel's milk and urine.
"Those who did drink it must have been ignorant," he said.

Ignorance can be a killer too. We have to be careful if the thing we hear is a myth or a fact , there is more safety in being sure of things specially concerning the human health.
ReplyDeleteone should must confirm that the thing he is being told is a fact or not?
ReplyDeleteother is no hadees regarding drinking urine of camel..!!
these wrong in formations not only harm us but also take Muslims to the strayed paths
It is normal for me to see a man drink his own urine, but drinking the urine of camel, it is unusual at all. waste product from one's body should not be taken again.
ReplyDeleteIgnorance is normal to human. All of us has this quality amongst us. If we didn't take necessary precautions and extra careful, we will end up in a state where in we will really regret that we did that wrong move. If we only heard information from others about something and really haven't know any idea about it, we should make research for that something or anything, but we should not stop to what we have searched, we need to consult also the right persons knowledgeable for that so that we can prevent serious happening to our health.
ReplyDeleteIt is an example of where wrong or false quotation from hadith can lead us. We can see that ignorance both in educational or religious sector can bring us even to death.
ReplyDeleteThat nasty work was done by them because of their ignorance. Drinking camel milk is ok.. but drinking camel urine is just disgusting. I can’t agree with them about drinking urine. I don’t think, there is any such kind of information given in Hadith. I am a muslim but I never heard this kind of hadith. About the camel milk, I have no idea. May be camel was infected by such kind of Virus.
However from this other people will be able to learn a lesson and as “alkhurma” is a very dangerous and highly contagious virus, people will be able to save themselves from this disease.
have you tried eating exotic foods? as what is shown in here but...you should know first if it is goo or bad.if it affects your health...in every food we eat there's a risk,depending on how we prepare it right!!?
ReplyDeleteignorance is normal its like your unaware of something else which will lead you to a good result or bad.anyway its a lesson for everybody i must say that i my self already experience this kind of situation an i must admit i've learned from it.therefore "The truth is . . . once you learn how to die, you learn how to live."
