Answer
The enquired incident is reported in many authentic books of Ahadith including Bukhari.
There were eight people who pretended to accept Islam when they fell ill in Madina Munawwara, Rasulullah(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) advised them to live in the outskirts of Madina Munawwara and drink the milk and urine of camels as a means of cure. After being cured they brutally killed the shepard and drove the camels along with them. The punishment was in lieu of the crime committed by these murderers as well as to set an example to others in particular the Jews who used to stay on the outskirts of Medina Munawwara and were arch enemies of the Muslims.
And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
