Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a strange questioner. He asks: What is the ruling on one who says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to sell intoxicants? We ask Allah for safety.
Answer:
This is what a Muslim does not say. The Messenger forbade intoxicants, and when the prohibition was revealed, he ordered his Companions to go out to the streets and break the jars and vessels of intoxicants until it flowed onto the ground. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)—we ask Allah for well-being—used to sell intoxicants? This is apostasy from the religion of Islam. This is describing the Messenger as one who sells intoxicants. A Muslim does not sell intoxicants. How can a Muslim say this about the Messenger? He must repent to Allah the Exalted and leave this speech. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
