Quran
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُو�ٌّ مُّبِينٌ
"O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."
Surah Al-Baqarah · 2:168
Classical physicians linked skin eruptions including eczema to consumption of impure or spoiled foods that corrupt the blood and humors, making dietary purity essential for skin health.
لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ
"We have certainly created man in the best of stature."
Surah At-Tin · 95:4
Ibn Sina emphasized that chronic skin diseases like eczema represent departure from natural balanced constitution (mizaj), reminding patients that restoration to optimal form is the therapeutic goal.
Sahih Hadith
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَنْ تَصَبَّحَ بِسَبْعِ تَمَرَاتٍ عَجْوَةٍ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ سُمٌّ وَلَا سِحْرٌ
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Whoever takes seven 'Ajwah dates in the morning will not be harmed by poison or witchcraft on that day.'"
Classical scholars noted dates' blood-purifying properties and their role in treating skin eruptions caused by corrupt humors, particularly chronic inflammatory conditions like eczema.
عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: غَطُّوا الْإِنَاءَ وَأَوْكُوا السِّقَاءَ
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Cover the vessel and tie the waterskin.'"
Prophetic hygiene principles protect against environmental irritants and allergens that trigger eczema flares, as emphasized in classical Tibb literature on preventing skin afflictions.

Ibn Sina, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, Book 3, Fann 11 (Diseases of the Skin), Chapter on Moist Eruptions and Chronic Itching (Al-Hakaak wa al-Busur) — describes eczema-like conditions as arising from corrupt phlegmatic or sanguine humors expelled through skin, treated with drying, astringent topicals and humoral rebalancing through diet modification and phlebotomy when indicated.
Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah · Al-Ṭibb an-Nabawī
Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, At-Tibb an-Nabawi, Chapter on Skin Diseases and Scabies (Al-Jarab wa Amrad al-Jild) — emphasizes that chronic skin eruptions respond to combined spiritual purification through dhikr, dietary restriction of heating foods (meats, spices), and topical application of cooling oils and astringent herbs like henna and olive oil.
