Takhrij:
«أخرجه مسلم، الأشربة، باب تحريم الخمر...، حديث:1982.»©Explanation:
The purpose and intent of mentioning this hadith is to clarify that not only is wine extracted from grapes prohibited, but any intoxicating drink prepared from any substance is also prohibited if it intoxicates, veils a person’s intellect, and causes him to lose his senses.
In other words, every intoxicating thing is considered wine (khamr).
Whether we call this a linguistic reality or a legal (shar‘i) one, in the view of the Lawgiver (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), it is prohibited.
This is further supported by the forthcoming ahadith.
