Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. Does the pouring out of intoxicants by the Companions in the streets of Madinah not indicate that it is not ritually impure? Because if it had been ritually impure, the Messenger (peace be upon him) would have rebuked them for it?
Answer:
No, it does not indicate that it is not ritually impure, because the Companions avoided the pools of it; they did not wade in it. When they knew it was ritually impure, they avoided it. The streets become impure from things other than intoxicants, and people avoid that. Yes.
