Eating pumpkins is the Sunnah of my Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and when Hazrat Yunus (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was freed from the belly of a fish, Allaah placed a pumpkin vine near him and he ate that pumpkin and praised Allaah. He continued to do so and Allaah healed his blessed body. Allaah has healed him a lot in pumpkins. He must eat it.
