🪰 Did Muhammad Get It Wrong? The Fly Hadith Examined Scientifically 🧪

In this video, I revisit Sahih al-Bukhari 3320, a hadith where Prophet Muhammad instructs believers to dip a fly into their drink because one wing carries disease and the other carries the cure. After Muslims responded to my original video by citing scientific studies that supposedly support this claim, I decided to investigate those studies myself—and what I found may surprise you.

Are these studies credible? Does the fly hadith contain a scientific error? Can Muslims say Muhammad was wrong about something not related to theology? What does this mean for Sunni Islam, which considers this hadith authentic beyond dispute?

We’ll break down:

The science behind flies and disease

Two frequently cited pro-fly-dipping studies

The logic (and flaws) in how they’re structured

What early Islamic scholars and modern apologists say

Whether this hadith creates a crisis of faith

This is a deep dive into Islam, science, and theology—tackling hard questions with honesty and respect.
