Pouring Intoxicants in the City Streets and Its Implication Regarding Their Impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I swear by Allah, regarding the pouring of intoxicants in the city streets, and it is a sitting that contradicts the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding renewing public places in a hadith where the three angels open up, is this evidence for the non-impurity of intoxicants?
Answer:
Yes, those who do not consider intoxicants impure have cited this as evidence, saying, "If it were impure, it would not be poured in the city streets." However, the implication from this is not clear, because the streets are not all pure; there are impurities in them other than intoxicants. There are impurities in the streets other than intoxicants, and the walker may expect to avoid them. There are excretions, and the streets do not require purity; there are impurities other than urine, there are people's excretions, and there is urine, but the walker expects to avoid them. Yes.
