Summary
No text from the Quran or the Hadith prohibits eating fish together with milk. The well-known prohibition sentence is only an example used by Arabic grammarians to illustrate differences in reading, vowelling and meaning. Ibn Masuwaih mentioned that the combination may cause skin disease and gout, but this is only the opinion and folk advice of a scholar. Those concerned about illness are advised to consult a medical expert.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tiada sebarang sumber larangan memakan ikan bersama susu daripada nas dan dalil al-Quran atau hadis Nabi SAW.
