Ingesting and applying seal oil
Question
Is it permissible to ingest and apply seal oil on the skin?
Answer
It is only permissible for external use. However, if there is no halaal alternative available for the ailment one is experiencing, then it is permissible for one to consume it as a medication.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
