Is gherkin allowed on the Tayyibat diet?
No
No, by his rules. He never ruled on this food directly. The verdict follows from his rules.
Why gherkin is off the list
It's over 90% water. That much water floods your stomach, waters down the juices that digest your food, and breaks your meal apart. Watermelon, cucumber and lettuce are out for the same reason.
The detail
Over 90% water. The volume floods the stomach, dilutes digestion and breaks the meal apart. That is the same reason watermelon, melon, cucumber and lettuce are out.
The rule behind the verdict
Too much water
Did the doctor say this himself?
