Is there guidance in Islam about drinking fresh, unheated milk?

Assalamu alaikum! I heard someone say that Islam recommends drinking milk that hasn't been heated or boiled. Is there anything in the Quran or authentic hadith that encourages consuming milk straight from the source, or considers it more beneficial than pasteurized milk? I'm just looking for what our Islamic sources actually mention, not modern health views. JazakAllahu khair!

Brother, fresh milk straight from the animal is totally fine. In many hadith, they drank milk directly. No need to overthink it-it's halal and good either way, heated or not.

In the mi'raj, the Prophet was offered milk and wine, chose milk, and Jibril said he chose fitrah. Nothing about heating though. It's more about the virtue of milk itself.

I haven't seen any authentic hadith that says unheated is especially recommended. The Sunnah just shows the Prophet drank milk as it was available. Remember to say Bismillah.

From what I know, it's not about heated vs unheated. The benefit is in the milk itself, which is a blessing. Boiling might kill nutrients but no ruling on that.
