What is the ruling on keeping cups and bottles of intoxicants in the house?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our brother objected to the horns hanging on the wall inside. So here is a question that arises: Shaykh, many people in their homes, after Allah has accepted their repentance, have many symbols of intoxicants, such as glasses of various types and bottles of intoxicants of various types, and they use them either for appearance, placing them in a buffet like this, or for storage. Does this mean, according to your fatwa, that we must get rid of all these glasses in our homes?
The Shaykh : You have answered well. That is the case. However, among some of these songs that were mentioned, there are some that can be used until they break, at which point their usefulness is gone. As for placing them as decoration, that is the same as a removed horn. Yes, it is not permissible to adorn oneself with them; rather, they should be degraded and used until their time comes. Can one be permitted? No? Yes.
