Nabidh and the Duration of Its Steeping
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: What is the ruling on nabidh? Is it khamr (intoxicants)? Is there a specific duration for its fermentation that determines its permissibility or prohibition?
Answer:
It is permissible to make nabidh by steeping dates or grapes in water in order to make the water sweet due to that. However, if it becomes strong or reaches four days, it must be poured out and not drunk.
