{{QuranHadithScholarsIndex}}

Alcohol is banned in all major schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both from being sold in an Islamic state and from being consumed by believers. Numerous [[surah]]s of the [[Qur'an]], and passages of the [[hadith]] and [[tafsir]] provide the rational for totally banning alcohol. By extension, other substances that cause similar intoxication are also [[haram]].   

Allah's Apostle was asked about Al-Bit. He said, "'''All drinks that intoxicate are unlawful''' (to drink.) }}

{{Quote|{{Bukhari|7|69|490}}|Narrated Anas bin Malik:  

{{Quote|{{Muslim|23|4890}}|Anas b. Malik reported: '''Allah revealed the verse in which Allah prohibited the use of liquor'''. In those days no other liquor was drunk but that prepared from dates.}}

{{Quote|{{Muslim|17|4226}}|Anas b. Malik reported that a person who had drink wine was brought to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him). He gave him forty stripes with two lashes. Abu Bakr also did that, but when Umar (assumed the responsibilities) of the Caliphate, he consulted people and Abd al-Rahman said: '''The mildest punishment (for drinking) is eighty (stripes)''' and 'Umar their prescribed this punishment.}}

{{Quote|{{Muslim|17|4228}}|Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) gave a beating with palm branches and shoes, and that Abu Bakr gave forty lashes. When Umar (became the Commander of the Faithful) and the people went near to pastures and towns, he said (to the Companions of the Holy Prophet). What is your opinion about lashing for drinking? Thereupon Abd al-Rahman b. Auf said: My opinion is that you fix it as the mildest punishment. Then ''''Umar inflicted eighty stripes'''.}}

{{Quote|{{Muslim|17|4230}}|Anas reported that '''Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) used to strike forty times with shoes and palm branches (in case of drinking of) wine'''. The rest of the hadith is the same and there is no mention of pastures and towns.}}

"'''The hadd is imposed for drinking wine even if it does not make the man intoxicated. That is because he drank it to become intoxicated'''. It is the same as that with cutting off the hand of the thief for theft when it is taken from him, even if he has not profited from it and it was returned to its owner. When he stole it, he stole it to take it away." [...] }}
