Every drink that intoxicates is khamr, and every khamr is forbidden — whether it is from grapes, dates, barley, honey, or anything else, and whether it is much or little. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whatever intoxicates in large amounts, a small amount of it is forbidden." The one who drinks it, presses it, sells it, buys it, carries it, the one to whom it is carried, and the one who consumes its price — all are cursed by the tongue of the Messenger (ﷺ). It is the mother of all evils; one who dies addicted to it without repentance has been threatened with not drinking it in the Hereafter.
Key Takeaway
Every intoxicant is khamr — its small amount is forbidden when its large amount intoxicates; ten parties involved in its trade are cursed.
