Addendum to the benefits of the hadith: (The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about wine being made into vinegar . . .).

The Shaykh : That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited making wine into vinegar so that people would not keep it, for perhaps their souls might prompt them to drink it.
Now, among the benefits of this hadith is that the word of response serves in place of the sentence, as in his saying: This is a consistent rule, even in contracts. If a man is offered a sale and asked, "Do you accept the sale?" and he says, "Yes," the sale is concluded. If a woman's guardian says, "I have married you to my daughter," and the husband is asked, "Do you accept?" and he says, "Yes," that suffices and the marriage is concluded. If he is asked, "Have you divorced your wife?" and he says, "Yes," she is divorced, and so on. The point is that the word of response suffices in place of the sentence, whether by negation, such as "no," or by affirmation, such as "yes" or "indeed."
And among the benefits of this hadith, following the author's (may Allah have mercy on him) approach mentioned earlier, is that wine is ritually impure, but there is a consideration here, because the stronger position is that wine is not ritually impure in a tangible sense. I have not found, up to now, any evidence indicating that, except that the majority of scholars said that it is ritually impure in a tangible sense. But since there is no evidence, it does not follow from the prohibition that it must be ritually impure, because every ritually impure thing is forbidden, but not every forbidden thing is ritually impure. Then, we mentioned during the explanation that there is in the Sunnah what indicates purity, not based on the original presumption of innocence, but there are affirmative proofs indicating the non-impurity of wine. We mentioned among them that the Companions?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : poured out the wine in the markets, and it is known that pouring out the ritually impure in the markets of Muslims is forbidden. Indeed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Also, when it was forbidden, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order the vessels to be washed from it. If it had become ritually impure by the prohibition, it would have been obligatory to wash the vessels from it, just as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made it obligatory to wash the vessels from donkey meat when it was forbidden. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the vessels to be broken in Khaybar when he saw them boiling with donkey meat. They said, "Or should we wash them?" He said: The third proof is the story of the owner of the wine jar who presented it to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) after wine was forbidden. He said: So he opened the mouths of the jars and poured out the wine, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) did not order him to wash the jars from the wine. This is a very clear proof with no room for doubt, because the issue of vessels... wine in the vessels might be opposed by someone who says that it was lawful and not... when it was placed in the vessel. Even if this answer is not convincing, the issue of the wine jar is free from doubt. And this position, namely that wine is pure in a tangible sense but ritually impure in meaning, is the stronger one.
