It is narrated from Mukhtar bin Fulful (may Allah have mercy on him): I asked Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) about drinks, and he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the use of vessels coated with pitch (tar)," and said: "Every intoxicant is unlawful." I said: You have spoken the truth; intoxication is indeed unlawful, but I only drink a sip or two after a meal to aid digestion. Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: "Whatever intoxicates in large quantity, a small quantity of it is also unlawful." Then he said: "When wine (khamr) was made unlawful, it was made from grapes, dates, honey, wheat, barley and sorghum; and whatever of these you ferment into an intoxicant, that is wine."
