Poultry in the Tayyibat Diet: Digestion-Based Exclusion and Claimed Health Effects

Poultry in the Tayyibat Diet

Dr. El-Awady states that the main objective behind prohibiting poultry such as chicken, duck, and goose is to facilitate digestion, as these foods are considered inherently unsuitable for human consumption.

In other words, since their digestion is difficult, the body has a limited ability to process them. For this reason, they were excluded from the system at the outset, including poultry eggs or free-range (local) eggs” which were also placed under this prohibition.

However, it was later observed that avoiding these foods led to improvements in some previously unaccounted-for symptoms. For example, abstaining from poultry contributed to a reduction in indigestion problems, fatty liver symptoms, certain circulatory disorders, and was also associated with effects related to female hormones .
