The Ruling on Drinking Intoxicants to Relieve Choking
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And if it happens that he is unable to swallow the intoxicant, meaning he drinks the intoxicant or dies, meaning he perishes, he should stay away from the intoxicant because it gives him thirst, and the thirst leads to death.
Answer:
He does not drink intoxicants in any situation, except for what you have heard regarding relieving choking. If he has nothing else but a sip of intoxicant, he uses it to relieve the choking. Apart from that, it is not permissible to consume intoxicants in any situation; because it does not benefit him in any way, but rather it harms him.
