Can we eat snakes as remedy and medicine for treatment of diseases?

 It is not permissible to eat mice, snakes, venomous insects or monkeys, because they catch prey with their fangs, and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade eating any wild animal that has fangs, and because they are regarded as repulsive, and Allah, may He be exalted, says describing the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him):

{and [he] makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the bad things}  [al-A ‘raf 7:157].

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade treating sickness with that which is haram, according to the report narrated by Abu Dawud (3874) from Abu’d-Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah has sent down the disease and the remedy, and He has created for every disease a remedy, so treat disease but do not treat it with anything that is haram.” Classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih al-Jami‘ (1762).

 It is not permissible to eat the meat of snakes, whether for medicinal purposes or for any other purpose. The foods and medicines that Allah has permitted are sufficient and there is no need for that which is haram.
