Sunan Abu Dawud 3683 — What has been reported regarding Intoxicants
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَزَنِيِّ ، عَنْ دَيْلَمٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ ، قَالَ : " سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ بَارِدَةٍ نُعَالِجُ فِيهَا عَمَلًا شَدِيدًا ، وَإِنَّا نَتَّخِذُ شَرَابًا مِنْ هَذَا الْقَمْحِ نَتَقَوَّى بِهِ عَلَى أَعْمَالِنَا وَعَلَى بَرْدِ بِلَادِنَا ، قَالَ : هَلْ يُسْكِرُ ؟ ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ غَيْرُ تَارِكِيهِ ، قَالَ : فَإِنْ لَمْ يَتْرُكُوهُ فَقَاتِلُوهُمْ " .
Narrated Daylam al-Himyari: I asked the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah! we live in a cold land in which we do heavy work and we make a liquor from wheat to get strength from if for our work and to stand the cold of our country. He asked: Is it intoxicating? I replied: Yes. He said: You must avoid it. I said: The people will not abandon it. He said: If they do not abandon it, fight with them.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: Becoming accustomed to something unlawful (haram) does not make it permissible, nor does it become a valid reason for its permissibility.
Furthermore, it is obligatory to remove matters that are in clear contradiction to Islam, even if it requires fighting against the caliph of the time.
