Question:
Finally, he says: Shaykh, is khamr (intoxicants) ritually impure in itself or impure in meaning? And does a person perform wudu' (ablution) from it?
Answer:
Khamr is forbidden, and the scholars have differed on whether its impurity is intrinsic or conceptual. The majority hold that it is intrinsically impure, and that if it touches a garment, the body, or a bed, it must be washed. So, what is the impurity that is washed? Yes.
