Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for me to warn people against drinking intoxicants by telling them that there is a person who drinks intoxicants and committed a sin with his mother, and so on, of such warnings?
Answer:
It is sufficient for you to mention what Allah mentioned regarding intoxicants,[Al-Ma'idah 5:90] whatever is in the Qur'an, and that Allah has made the hudud punishment obligatory for the one who drinks it, and that it affects the mind. As for you saying that he committed a sin with his mother and so on, this is spreading the news of immorality. Yes.
Intoxicants carry a severe warning, such as the curse of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) upon the ten people involved in intoxicants. Intoxicants were named by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as the mother of all evils. Whoever drinks intoxicants in this world, it is a right for Allah to make him drink from the mud of the Dajjal on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever drinks it in this world will not drink from the wine of Paradise, and so on of the warnings. And you say that intoxicants take away the mind, which is the noblest thing in a human being. So if his mind is gone, he does not refrain from falling into prohibitions: he kills, or curses, or insults, or does other things, because his mind is gone. Yes.
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
Answer:
Ibn al-Wardi says: "And leave the intoxicants if you are a young man. How does he strive in the madness of one who has reason?" This means he has turned from a person of sound mind into a madman. This is a regression. Yes.
