QURANIC FATWA FOR DRINKING WINE


QURANIC FATWA FOR RESTRICTION ON WINE

First command of Allah for restriction on wine.
Second Chapter Al-Baqarah, Verse No.219
They ask you the precept of wine and gambling. Say you, 'in both there is great sin and also some worldly profit for the people but their sin is greater than their profit and ask you what they aught to spend, say you, that which is saved after your needs.' Thus Allah explains to you His Signs so that you may do after reflecting.

Second command of Allah for restriction on wine which cancels the first.
Fourth Chapter Al-Nisa, Verse No.43
O Believers ! approach not prayer while you are intoxicated, until you have so much sense that what you say, you understand, nor when you are unclean without taking a bath except when you are traveling; and if you are ailing, or on a journey, or any one of you comes from privy, or you have touched women and you do not find water, then take some pure earth and wipe there with your faces and your hands. Undoubtedly, Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.

Third and final command of Allah for restriction on wine.
Fifth Chapter Al-Maeda, Verse No. 90
O believers ! wine and gambling and idols and divining arrows are only unclean things, a work of devil (Satan) then save yourselves from them, so that you may prosper.

Briefing :

Some commands of Allah revealed step by step so that people would accept them gradually. Allah Knows that what are the social and moral values of people in particular areas of the world. Therefore Allah commanded the people slowly but surely little by little for their habit of acceptance.
