Intoxicants

*📛Quran and Hadith on Intoxicants*

“ *O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al-Ansaab, and Al-Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful* ” [al-Maa’idah 5:90]

📌The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “ *Allaah has cursed alcohol, the one who drinks it, the one who pours it, the one who sells it, the one who buys it, the one who squeezes it (squeezes the grapes, etc), the one for whom it is squeezed, the one who carries it and the one to whom it is carried.”* (Abi Dawood, 2/700)

📌Allah's Messenger (May peace be upon him) said: *Every intoxicant is Khamr and every intoxicant is forbidden.* (Sahih Muslim 23:4964)

📌The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: *If a large amount of anything causes intoxication, a small amount of it is prohibited* . (Sunan Abu Dawud 26:3673)

📌Abdullah ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet said, " *Abstain from Khamr because it is the key (source) of all evils."* [Abu Dawud]

📌Wa'il al-Hadrami said that Tariq ibn Suwayd asked the Prophet about wine and he forbade him. When he told him that he made it only as a medicine he replied, " *It is not a medicine, but is disease.* " [Muslim]

📌The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “ *No one who commits zina is a believer at the moment when he is committing zina, and no one who drinks wine is a believer at the moment when he is drinking it, and no thief is a believer at the moment when he is stealing, and no robber is a believer at the moment when he is robbing and the people are looking on.”*
*Commentary* : This means that such a person is not a believer in the sense of having complete faith, rather his faith is greatly lacking because of this evil action. (Saheeh al-Bukhaari (2295) and Saheeh Muslim (86))

📌The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “ *Whoever drinks wine in this world and does not repent from that, he will be deprived of it in the Hereafter.”* (al-Bukhaari (5147) and Muslim (3736))

📌It is narrated that Ibn al-Daylami said to ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr, “O ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Amr, did you hear the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say anything about wine?” He said, “Yes, I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say, ‘ *If any man from among my ummah drinks wine, Allaah will not accept his prayers for forty days.’”* Sunan al-Nasaa’i (5570)

*Commentary* :What this means is that he will not be rewarded for them, but he is still obliged to pray; in fact he is obliged to do all the prayers. If he forsakes prayer during this time, he will be committing one of the worst of major sins, one which some of the scholars said amounts to kufr, Allaah forbid.

📌The Prophet(Peace be upon him) said, " *From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of musical instruments, as lawful. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection* ." (Sahih Bukhari 7:69:494)

📌Narrated Anas bin Malik: I used to offer drinks prepared from infused dates to Abu Talha Al-Ansari, Abu 'Ubada bin Al Jarrah and Ubai bin Ka'b. Then a person came to them and said, " *All alcoholic drinks have been prohibited* ." Abii Talha then said, " *O Anas! Get up and break all these jars* ." So I got up and took a mortar belonging to us, and hit the jars with its lower part till they broke. (Sahih Muslim 23:4890)
