What is the argument of the people of Kufah for the permissibility of drinking nabidh?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, we always hear the people of Kufah say that they permit nabidh, even if it is intoxicating. What is their argument? Did a Shaykh like this hadith not reach them?

The Shaykh : No, they hold that intoxication is specific to only the five types, and some of them say it is specific to grapes only.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : The correct view, without doubt, is that their statement, may Allah have mercy on them, is weak.

The questioner : How did they respond to a hadith like this...?

The Shaykh : They say, "All right:
Every drink كل شراب
from such
that intoxicates is forbidden أسكر فهو حرام
."
