Several critics of [[Islam]] have claimed that [[alcohol]] is a permitted substance. A reading of the relevant [[surah]]s, [[hadith]] and [[tafsir]] texts show this claim to be in error.
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 will destroy them''' during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection." }}

{{Quote| {{Muslim|23|4962}}|2= Jabir reported that a person came from Jaishan, a town of Yemen, and he asked Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) about the wine which was drunk in their land and which was prepared from millet and was called Mizr. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked whether that was intoxicating. He said:
Allah`s Messenger (saws) said: “'''Every intoxicant is haraam!''' Verily Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, made a covenant to those who drank intoxicants to make them drink ‘Tinat al-Khabal’. The companions asked: “Allah`s Messenger, what is ‘Tinat al-Khabal?’” He (saws) said: “It is the sweat of the denizens of Hell, or the discharge of the denizens of Hell.}}

"'''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." [...] }}

===Al Tirmidhi===
{{Quote|Al-Tirmidhi Hadith No. 61|Narrated byMu'adh ibn Jabal:
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) instructed me to do ten things saying: 1. Do not associate anything with Allah even if you are killed and burnt on that account. 2. Don't be disobedient to your parents even if they command you to abandon your family and your property. 3. Do not deliberately neglect to observe a prescribed prayer for he who neglects the prescribed prayer deliberately will become out of the protection of Allah. 4. '''Do not drink wine for it is the height of every obscenity'''. 5. Shun evil, for with evil there descends the wrath of Allah. 6. Beware of running away from the battle-field even if the people perish. 7. And when the death overtakes the people (in a plague or disaster) and you are one amongst them, show steadfastness. 8. Spend on your children according to your means. 9. Do not refrain from using pressure (of punishment) with a view to training them. 10. Inculcate in them the fear of Allah. (Transmitted by Ahmad)}}
