    hahahah its really very tricky
    if a person who convert from sunni to quran alone and want shelter then its totally depend on my faith of the time of event

    if i m sunni too then i will probably not give him shelter
    devil is still successful isnt it?

    other way round what if he murdered a serial rapist or serial killer and now he is being hunted by them
    voodoo

    Maybe its better to stop both sides and turn to court, but how will one person protect the hunted from a mob until they can go to court? &
    Ok, a person kills a serial killer who killed one of his family members, so he sought justice but it was outside court, but now hes hunted by people who accuse him of being a murderer who dont know he killed a serial killer. He runs by you and then mob comes and asks you where he went. While you think of answer, you dont know why hes being hunted, and you dont know if they are seeking justice or if its all misunderstood. You only know they want to kill that guy.
    I think the best answer is to say "I dont know". But thats a lie too?

    A few problems

    1. The guy didnt go through court and bring evidence. Instead he sought justice himself. He knew that guy was the serialkiller as he witnessed the death of his family member. So only he knows who the serial killer is.
    2. The mob thinks hes a murderer of an innocent person, so they begin hunting him to kill, without the court.
    3. If you said you dont know, it would be a lie, but you prevented that an innocent man is killed for seeking justice the wrong way.
    4. The innocent man can be charged for taking matters into his own hands without turning to court.
    5. Even then, the innocent man must prove the serial killer was a serial killer, otherwise he can face death if serial killers family want justice by death of wrongly accused.

    I think this issue happened because he didnt turn to the court, or atleast the people and tell them he is the serial killer.

    The point though is, alcohol isnt haram.

              733

              Say, ?My Lord has prohibited only the shameful acts, whether open or secret, and the ithm, and unjust aggression, and that you associate with Allah anything for which He has not sent any authority, and that you attribute to Allah any thing about which you do not have sure knowledge.

              2219

              They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, ?In both there is great ithm, and some benefits for people. And their sin is greater than their benefit.?

              So ithm is haram.

              Peace

              Peace, no a "word" out of context cannot be prohibited; read in context about causing harm and oppression without justification.

              733 say merely arrama/prohibit lord mine l-fawisha/the immorality what apparent therein and what unaware wal-ith'ma/and the detriment/harm wal-baghya/and the oppression in other than/without the right/justification and that associate ye of with the god what not descended in it authority of and that thou say ye of about the god what not thou knowing

              5332 the ones avoiding greater l-ith'mi/the detriment/harm wal-fawisha/and the immoralities except the small faults indeed lord your extensive the forgiveness ...

                            Are you saying both al-ithm and al-baghia are connected to Al-Haq? I see them two seperate words. I read it as Al-ithm is haram and Al-baghia without Al-haq is haram.

                              Drinking wine in moderation (not to excess) has actually been shown to be good for the heart.

                                To say "arrama/prohibit l-ith'ma/the detriment" is meaningless.
                                Read in context about causing detriment and tyranny on others.

                                733 say merely arrama/prohibit lord mine the immorality what apparent therein and what unaware wal-ith'ma/and the detriment and the oppression/tyranny in other than/without the right/justification and that associate ye of with the god what not descended in it authority of and that thou say ye of about the god what not thou knowing

                                  I agree, individuals vary, but as a whole society there will be many
                                  who are not moderate. There are moderate drug users but there
                                  are drug addicts, there are moderate gamblers then there are those
                                  who are addicted to gambling as well, we must consider what
                                  is best for society as a whole.

                                    Exactly. Drinking is not an individual evil but a social evil, therefore it is beyond the scope of individual behaviour. Like one may like to ski and accidnets occur many times skiing, but that is not likely ever to become a social evil, therefore it is up to the person or at the most his or her dependants, not of the whole of society.

                                    On the other hand, counting one's perpetual moderation may be counting too much on something that is not in our hands. Many people who have been moderate drinkers stop being moderate drinkers when diffiulties confront them and then very easily slip into alcoholism. We see that all the time.
                                    Moderation is nice, it is part of a picture where we drink for pleasure, but when people are in emotional, economical or any other turmoil, one does not even notice that one is not drinking for pleasure any more but to escape the situation where one is. Or in the extreme, people who were well off and become homeless, they may merely drink to warm themselves up in cold weather.

                                    Alcohol is dangerous, precisely because it can be so plesurable. That is a very big edge it has as against other drugs, where you seek the effect but the consumption of which is not enticing, but alcohol is pleasurable. And, as mentionned, there is not such a thing as perpetual moderation. All one can say is that for the moment one is moderate, but there is no gurantee whatsoever that it will always be so. And, like other drugs, there are people who are more prone to become alcoholics or drug users than others. Those people can benefit enormously of an environment where alcohol and other drugs are not common currency.

                                    I guess that people who drink for pleasure either they do it in a culture where to stop drinking because that way you may help others or yourself in the future is simply unconceived or never seriously entertained because it is never weighed, or are people who think that if it is a pleasure why should I rennounce it if I do not do harm to anybody. In the first case, those societies where this is so pay the price, a very heavy one. In the second case, a society where many people turn to alcohol with moderation because it is so nice, the are paving the way to become a society of the first mentionned and also playing with fire, because with alcohol moderation may be only as long as one is not confronted with real afflicting conditions.

                                    The attractiveness of alcohol induces many unhappy miscalculations.

                                    Salaam

                                      Saving innocent lives? That is very righteous to Allah/God (SWT).

                                      How do you know that the life you are saving is innocent?

                                        I agree, individuals vary, but as a whole society there will be many
                                        who are not moderate. There are moderate drug users but there
                                        are drug addicts, there are moderate gamblers then there are those
                                        who are addicted to gambling as well, we must consider what
                                        is best for society as a whole.

                                        When has trying to moderate society as a whole led to a better society? The mafias in the US were created out of the ban on alcohol, they grew through this ban. Alcohol is easily available today in countries like Pakistan, the only difference the ban made is that the suppliers are earning more. As a society we cannot be moderated, it leads to retaliation. The Russians tried to control their society through communism, we all can see the results. In Pakistan Bhutto banned alcohol and yet alcohol is now available in whichever house that needs it. The society before the ban was actually much more balanced then it is now.
