Mishkat al-Masabih 3651 — Drinking wine is forbidden even in severe
وَعَنْ دَيْلَمٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ بَارِدَةٍ وَنُعَالِجُ فِيهَا عَمَلًا شَدِيدًا وَإِنَّا نَتَّخِذُ شَرَابًا مِنْ هَذَا الْقَمْحِ نَتَقَوَّى بِهِ عَلَى أَعْمَالِنَا وَعَلَى بَرْدِ بِلَادِنَا قَالَ: «هَلْ يُسْكِرُ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ قَالَ: «فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ» قُلْتُ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ غَيْرُ تَارِكِيهِ قَالَ: «إِنْ لَمْ يَتْرُكُوهُ فقاتلوهم» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Dailam al-Himyari told that he said, “Messenger of God, we live in a cold land in which we do heavy work and we make a liquor from wheat to get strength from it for our work and, to stand the cold of our country.” He asked whether it was intoxicating, and when he replied that it was, he said they must avoid it. When he replied that the people would not abandon it, he said, “If they do not abandon it fight with them.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
