Summary
Using Cordyceps Sinensis in the manufacture of traditional medicine or health food products is permissible. The natural form comes from materials that are not ritually impure, and the laboratory-produced form uses only plant-based materials as its growth medium. However, if laboratory production uses prohibited substances as the growth medium, its use in any product is forbidden.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Muzakarah bersetuju memutuskan bahawa penggunaan Cordyceps Sinensis dalam proses pembuatan ubat tradisional atau produk makanan kesihatan adalah diharuskan kerana Cordyceps Sinensis asli terhasil daripada bahan yang tidak menajiskan
