The Ruling on the Impurity of Intoxicants
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, since the people of Madinah in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) poured out intoxicants in the markets, does that not indicate that they are not impure? For if they had been impure, they would not have poured them out in the streets?
Answer:
The markets contain impurities other than intoxicants; markets are not free from impurities other than intoxicants. Does this not indicate that intoxicants are not impure? Because there is no report that the Companions walked in them, stepped in them, or prayed in them. They avoid them, they avoid them just as they avoid the impurities in the streets, such as dung, urine, and the like.
