Summary
Taking brain supplement pills is permissible, as it falls under worldly matters that are lawful by default unless there is evidence prohibiting them. The fatwa leans towards permissibility for pills proven effective by scientific studies and free of substances forbidden by Islamic law. Marketing information must be clear and honest without manipulating facts, and product names should match the concept offered so that consumers are not misled.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
