The Meaning of the Nabidh That 'Umar Drank
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is meant by the nabidh that 'Umar drank and was pleased with? Is it the one that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade?
Answer:
No, the Messenger used to drink nabidh. Nabidh is when fruit is put in water until the water becomes sweet, its taste becoming sweet from the fruit. But if it reaches a state of fermentation, it is poured out. If it ferments, meaning if it foams, it is poured out. But before it foams, they drink the nabidh. Yes. And if it does not foam, but four days have passed over it, it is also poured out and not drunk. Nabidh is drunk. Yes.
