Question

Can mushroom water be utilized for eye ailments? What is the method of application?

Answer

The mushroom water should be used as eye-drops for the eyes. However, the commentators of Hadith have written that mushroom water should be utilized together with other medication as a means of cure from eye-ailments. The water shouldn’t be used on its own.

It is written in “Kashful-Bari”(commentary of Sahih Bukhari by Hadhrat Moulana Saleemullah Khan Saheb Rahmatullahi Alaih), quoting from”Umdatul-Qari”, that if the eye-ailment is due to hot temperament of the body, it can be used on its own (without adding any other medication). However, if the eye-ailment is due to cold temperament of the body, then it must be used in conjunction with other medication [Re: Kashful-Bari Volume of Kitaabut-Tafseer, Pg. 24].

It is therefore advisable that you contact a Hakeem for guidance in this regard, as he will be able to tell you what the basis of the eye-ailment really is, and how the mushroom water needs to be utilized.
