"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
This verse emphasizes consuming lawful and pure (tayyib) foods, directly relevant to hives as many cases result from allergic reactions to impure, contaminated, or unsuitable foods that trigger immune responses.
"And He makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil things."
Surah Al-A'raf · 7:157
Classical scholars applied this principle to dietary triggers of skin eruptions like urticaria, advising avoidance of khaba'ith (harmful substances) that provoke allergic skin reactions.
Sahih Hadith
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ دَاءً إِلاَّ أَنْزَلَ لَهُ شِفَاءً
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Allah has not sent down a disease except that He has sent down a cure for it.'"
Sunan Ibn Majah · 3505HasanNarrator: Anas ibn Malik
This hadith provides hope and theological foundation for seeking treatment for allergic skin conditions like urticaria, encouraging pursuit of both dietary avoidance and herbal remedies.
عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ بِنْتِ مِحْصَنٍ أَنَّهَا أَتَتْ بِابْنٍ لَهَا صَغِيرٍ لَمْ يَأْكُلِ الطَّعَامَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَجْلَسَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي حِجْرِهِ فَبَالَ عَلَى ثَوْبِهِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَنَضَحَهُ وَلَمْ يَغْسِلْهُ
"Umm Qays bint Mihsan brought her young son who had not yet eaten food to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He placed him in his lap, and he urinated on his garment. He called for water and sprinkled it, but did not wash it."
Sunan Abi Dawud · 3855SahihNarrator: Umm Qays bint Mihsan
Classical physicians applied this principle of gentle water treatment and avoiding harsh irritants to skin conditions including urticaria, emphasizing mild cleansing over aggressive scrubbing that worsens wheals.
