Question:
In his final questions, he inquires about this verse: [Surat al-Nahl: 67] the verse?
Answer:
This was in the early days of Islam; they used to make intoxicants—khamr—from the fruits of the date palms and the grapevines when it was permissible. Then Allah abrogated that and forbade it in His saying—(Exalted and Majestic is He)—: [Surat al-Ma'idah: 90] in Surat al-Ma'idah [Surat al-Ma'idah: 90] And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “May Allah curse khamr, its drinker, its server, its carrier, the one to whom it is carried, its presser, its presser’s helper, its seller, its buyer, and the one who eats its price.” It was permissible at first, and people drank it in Makkah, in the early days of Islam, in the early days of the Hijrah. Then Allah forbade it in al-Madinah and cursed its drinker. Yes.
