Al-Marsad Newspaper: Consultant Pediatrician and Genetic Diseases, Dr. Abdel Nasser Al-Hilali explained that “Tahneek” was not a prophetic Sunnah and causes the transmission of bacteria to the baby’s mouth.
And he said during his speech with the “My Lady” program broadcast on the Gulf Rotana channel: “The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, stroked Abdullah bin Al-Zubair with a bariqa and a date, and then asked him “, noting that the date contains sugar, and the sugar is necessary for the fetus, especially on days of hunger and deficiency. Nutrients and liquids, in addition to the fact that the Prophet’s saliva is a blessing and therefore was not a Sunnah , therefore the Companions did not do it after the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace ».
And he continued, the Prophet’s mouth does not contain bacteria, but we have bacteria in our mouths, as Sheikh Fawzan issued a fatwa that tahneek is harmful.
He pointed out that some people are now munching to increase sugar using dates or honey, so that the baby recovers and becomes strong.
And he continued: “Tahnik is no longer needed because the mother breastfeeds the baby, there are hospitals and the baby is given intravenous sugar, if its role is completely absent.
