“Dr Zaghloul al-Naggar:
White blood cells are the fundamental component of the human immune system. It has been scientifically established that fasting for one day generates enough white blood cells to protect a person for ten days. Since the lunar year is 355 or 356 days, we need 36 days of fasting to generate sufficient white blood cells for the body. We therefore need six days of Shawwal to complete our protection and immunity. God is greatest! How great You are, my Lord!”
Comment:
The claim that the wisdom of fasting the six days of Shawwal after Ramadan is to complete the number of days needed to cleanse the body of toxins manipulates Islamic law, speaks about God without knowledge and is unsupported by modern medicine. This statement has been attributed to Zaghloul al-Naggar, but we have not found it in his lectures. It may be an invention by atheists intended to attack Islam and distort the interpretation of Islam.
