What some of plants mentioned in Quran as forbidden and why are they forbidden? I know it is a wild ugly plant but what are some specific reasons?

Last night, I was watching food network and one of the shows they were harvesting cactus and making a cactus salad. When my mom saw it was, she was like astagfirfullah…lol..Then she told me it is one of the forbidden plants mentioned in Quran. Anyhow, what some other plants mentioned in Quran as forbidden?

Forbidden in what sense? Eating or harvesting? Btw, I've never heard or read about such prohibition before.

Re: forbidden plants

errrmmm I don't know about cactus (I don't think it's edible anyway/it's a thorny plant) but as long as you're not going high on some intoxicant plants(magic mushrooms/bhang/etc) they should be okay to harvest and plant.

Peace All

There is a reference for the "fruit of a forbidden tree" but this is in the heavenly garden.

To eat intoxicating plants is haram, if done for recreation

Re: forbidden plants

I took a class on the Fiqh of Food, and the teacher said that regarding that which grows from the ground, ie vegetation, everything is permissible except for something that is harmful or dangerous, like if it will poison you or intoxicate you. Will the cactus fruit do that?

If someone told you that cactus is specifically mentioned as being not permissible, then you should ask them to bring the evidence to show that it is. People shouldnt just go around saying "this is haram, that is haram" without any proof
