Hadith 5584

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ أَهْلَنَا يَنْبِذُونَ لَنَا شَرَابًا عَشِيًّا فَإِذَا أَصْبَحْنَا شَرِبْنَا ، قَالَ : " أَنْهَاكَ عَنِ الْمُسْكِرِ قَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ ، وَأُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْكَ ، أَنْهَاكَ عَنِ الْمُسْكِرِ قَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ ، وَأُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْكَ ، إِنَّ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ يَنْتَبِذُونَ شَرَابًا مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَيُسَمُّونَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، وَهِيَ الْخَمْرُ ، وَإِنَّ أَهْلَ فَدَكٍ يَنْتَبِذُونَ شَرَابًا مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا يُسَمُّونَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، وَهِيَ الْخَمْرُ ، حَتَّى . . عَدَّ أَشْرِبَةً أَرْبَعَةً أَحَدُهَا الْعَسَلُ " .
´It was narrated that Ibn Sirin said:` "A man came to Ibn 'Umar and said: 'Our families make drinks for us by soaking (fruits) at night, and in the morning we drink them.' He said: 'I forbid you to drink intoxicants whether in small amounts or large. May Allah bear witness that I forbid you to drink intoxicants whether in small amounts or large. May Allah bear witness that the people of Khaibar used to make drinks by soaking such and such, and they called it such and such but it was Khamr. The people of Fadak used to make drinks by soaking such and such, and they called it such and such but it was Khamr.' And he listed four things, one of which was honey."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
This is precisely the view held by all scholars except the Hanafis: that any intoxicating substance, whether prepared from fruit, grain, or any beverage, carries the same ruling as wine (khamr). Even a small amount of it is forbidden, regardless of what name it is apparently given.
