Benefits and Issues:
➊ Every intoxicating substance is forbidden, no matter what name is given to it.
➋ Changing the name of something does not alter its legal (shar‘i) ruling. For example, whether one calls usury (riba) “profit” or “mark-up,” it remains usury.
➌ Something forbidden does not become permissible through legal trickery (hiyal); rather, the crime becomes even more severe.
➍ Playing and listening to musical instruments is forbidden.
➎ Even if good poetry is listened to along with musical instruments, it will not be permissible. Some people recite and listen to naats (poems in praise of the Prophet) with musical instruments. This is not love for the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), but rather disrespect, and if their meaning contains polytheism (shirk), then the sin becomes even more grave.
➏ In this ummah, incidents will occur of people being swallowed by the earth and of their forms being transformed into monkeys or pigs. May Allah, the Exalted, protect us.
➐ The purpose of giving advance warning is so that no Muslim, out of ignorance, commits such a crime that would make him deserving of this punishment.
