Question

What type of hair oil did the prophet use?

Answer


In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) used olive oil most of the times. Al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah report from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, "Eat olive oil (zayt) and anoint yourselves with it, for it is from a blessed tree. "

And Allah Knows Best
