Is pineapple allowed on the Tayyibat diet?

No

No, by his rules. He never ruled on this food directly. The verdict follows from his rules.

Why pineapple is off the list

It carries an enzyme strong enough to be sold as meat tenderiser. Papaya and kiwi are out for exactly this reason.

The detail

Carries a protease aggressive enough to be sold as a meat tenderiser. Papaya (papain) and kiwi (actinidin) are excluded on exactly this ground.

The rule behind the verdict

Meat tenderiser enzyme

Did the doctor say this himself?

Follows from his rules. Not a ruling he gave.
