Alcohol/intoxicants.
-
@sushi, that's because swine is harder to digest. And often people tend to overdose on it before the body has digested any of it, therefore resulting in you feeling like you're going to throw up. Take it in small portions, and allow your body to digest it.

Peace,
I have always had problems with swine, being Muslim, Christian (yes the Bible also prohibits swine) or atheist. I guess it keep lower quality than other meat.
God bless you

Greetings and Peace, all group
The ayat speak for themselves.
My personal understanding based on my best understanding is that alcohol is not prohibited. We are warned about it, that it can be a tool used by Satan. What tool can't be used by Satan? hmm
So long as you are not prohibited by either law (under 21 in United States) or conscience (an individual matter) or medical necessity (drug interactions etc.), then drink what you like. Oh, don't pray while intoxicated. )
ALLAH knows best.
peace
~Abdul-Hadi
O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, stone alters , and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.
There is nothing much to quibble over here. This verse outright forbids Alcohol - alongside gambling and other things.

I understand huruf. I was just saying the bottom line is it's not forbidden, so saying it's forbidden is wrong hence why I was pointing that out. Abdul correctly states the Qur'an warns us against it. I know it's not a good idea to drink if you're sad or depressed, and many other reasons why you shouldn't drink but if you do, then that's your choice, it's not going against anything, it's your life choice but baring in mind that you've been warned of its abilities...
Peace

Verse 590 is not a warning - but completely forbidden- that is what "avoid" means.

As far as the pig is concerned.....I hear and obey
The key word of 5/90 is successful/prosper, staying away from vices like gambling
and intoxicants helps to straiten the focus on what is important. Success is to focus on God by not having the
mind befogged by things that cover or block the mind from thinking clearly. Such things as wishful wealth
(gambling) are to be avoided as God is provider if you believe. Having said that, things that are intoxicating
are not forbidden because medicine can befog the mind and have the effects of recreational drug use and in
our zeal to please God, a devotee would abstain from taking medicine. What is to be avoided is intoxication
for the sake of being "high" or drunk by any means rather by smoke, injection, pill, snorting, anal insertion,
skin absorption or even eye drops for the sake of covering, numbing the senses to avoid life as it is. Be sober!God bless

so if i understand correctly, if we live in a society under quranic rule, it means intoxicants would be legal and accessible, as the quran doesn't say we have to ban them, but shouldn't consume
at which point do we step in? say the people starts to consuming too much, should it be banned by authorities as we do in our current societies? -

I don't want to turn this into a pork thread, but it is likely that there aren't compelling scientific reasons why we are to abstain from pork meat--and yes, I am well aware of the biology and science related to swine. If there is such a reason, it is probably more related to the production of swine. Producing swine in quantity facilitates disease (rodents with associated diseases, fly borne diseases from raw sewage, swine flu, swine brucellosis, etc.)
Interesting! So we have reached pinnacle of scientific knowledge? How do we know in10, 20 or even hundreds of yrs from now we won't discover solid scientific reason. Whether it emerges or not does not alter the fact that consumption of pork, Koranically, is not allowed. If you do not believe then it is a pointless discussion to argue scientifically on this thread.

There's nowhere where the Quran says you cannot consume alcohol. Warning against doesn't mean it's forbidden.
Even without prohibition, the Quran (word of God) asks us to avoid intoxicants. Example, Sushi do not go
to town using Wolf road on foot and unprotected because there are bears on both sides. Would such a warning
suffice? Or would you conclude, the road is not prohibited, so I'll go to town on foot and unprotected!
Even if you took a weapon, that would indicate that you took the warning seriously and took
necessary steps by heeding the warning.He is the One who granted you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brains. Rarely are you appreciative.
God bless

I am not going to repeat the verses - they are NOT just warnings but clear prohibition. What do you think stay away from means? What do you think saying these things are works of Satan means?
Of course the Quran says avoid alcohol.
Commands - direct commands are given in the form of the imperative verb and they denote direct commands. One cannot re-interpret verses according their own desire. . . that is not how it works. You submit to the commands and make them submit to your self .
But you are free to do and think what you like . . . but come on - you know deep down Quran - clearly forbids Alcohol.

What madzab of Sunni you belong to?
I former Sunni of Maliki sect and my ulamas don't take the alcohol as haram, depend on for what we used it for.

Malikis forbid alcohol and they are very strict upon this. Else, who are you talking about?

Really?? Where are you came from??
Do u really understand the word "khmr"?? -
Really what?
What is your hujah if alcohol is forbidden??
In hadith never written if alcohol is haram instead khmr.
Khmr according to hadith fiqh means something which make us intoxicated, not just limited to alcohol.
If you eat some junk foods then you became intoxicated, this mean that junk food is also a khmr.Lancashire - United Kingdom.
Jemaat Tabligh and Hizbut Tahrir have main roles on Islamic development in UK.Are you belong to them?
Hizbut Tahrir is very known for it's extreme way to create a fatwa, more close to Wahabi. -
What is your hujah if alcohol is forbidden??
Quran - verse already given - see previous post.

? We aint discussing Hadith.
Khmr according to hadith fiqh means something which make us intoxicated, not just limited to alcohol.
Sources? Evidence?
Khmr refers to "intoxicating beverages" exactly. And also refers to "intoxication". Source Arabic dictionaries and Quran.

? No one becomes intoxicated from Junk food.

You used Sunni version of talq hadith, then it's wrong I also used hadith?Sources? Evidence?

Is alcohol used in medical also an "intoxication".
Grape is halal but when we used it as wine, it's different story.No one becomes intoxicated from Junk food.
Just an analogy.

I think some people try really hard to find a loophole in the regulations. Worse case scenario, it's advice, and we should adhere to it because as a beverage, alcohol is in no way good for you. But for other purposes I think it's okay, like a disinfectant for example.
-
One Quran but have different way of intepretations.
And what is your way?
You used Sunni version of talq hadith, then it's wrong I also used hadith?
No I didn't. I don't really know what you are talking about.
Is alcohol used in medical also an "intoxication".
Grape is halal but when we used it as wine, it's different story.You are confusing different issues.
Just an analogy.
No it isn't. The word Analogy means something else.
"a process of arguing from similarity in known respects to similarity in other respects."
Junk food does not make on intoxicated . . . so where is the analogy?
