(Whoever begins seven Ajwa dates every day, poison and magic will not harm him that day).

Sheikh Ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, says: “There is
no harm in taking medication if there is a fear that a disease will occur,
because there is an epidemic or other reasons for fear of the disease

According to the saying of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in the authentic hadith: (Whoin in the morning, eat seven dates from Medina, which were not harmed by magic or poison, and this is under the heading of warding off calamity before it occurs.” Collection of Fatwas of Ibn Baz (6-21)
