The Nature of the Impurity of Intoxicants and Their Purification
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the impurity of intoxicants a sensory impurity?
Answer:
It is a ruling-based impurity. The impurity of intoxicants? No, intoxicants are inherently impure. Intoxicants cannot be purified unless they undergo a change, if they are converted into vinegar. If they turn into vinegar, they become pure. But as long as they are intoxicating, they are inherently impure.[Al-Ma'idah 5:90] It is obligatory to pour them out and destroy them.
