Although the Hadith of the Fly is Authentic, You Do Not Have to Drink that Which Disgusts You

Question :

Just how authentic is the Hadith,
"Indeed, in one wing of the fly is the disease, and in the other is the antidote."

This Hadith, which is related by Al-Bukhari on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, is authentic, and Abu Dawud recorded it with the addition:
"Indeed what is in its wings contains the anditote."

Answer:

And modern medicine attests to its meaning.

Some people may not feel up to drinking the contents after dipping the fly into the glass, and if they do not feel like drinking, they should not be forced, because a person is not ordered to eat or drink that which disgusts him. In an authentic Hadith, the Prophet ﷺ permitted others to eat a lizard, but he didn't eat it himself: he said :
"Indeed it is not from the land of my people, so I have a dislike for it."
