Hadith 5733

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ , قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ , عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قِرَاءَةً , أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ , يَقُولُ : " وَاللَّهِ , مَا تُحِلُّ النَّارُ شَيْئًا وَلَا تُحَرِّمُهُ " , قَالَ : ثُمَّ فَسَّرَ لِي قَوْلَهُ : لَا تُحِلُّ شَيْئًا لِقَوْلِهِمْ فِي الطِّلَاءِ وَلَا تُحَرِّمُهُ .
´'Ata' said:` "I heard Ibn 'Abbas say: 'By Allah, fire does not make anything permissible or forbidden.'" He said: "Then he explained what he meant by 'it does not make permissible' as referring to what they said about At-Tila' (thickened grape juice), and he explained what he said about 'it does not make forbidden' as referring to performing Wudu' after eating something that has been touched by fire."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Urdu marginal note:
"It also cannot make it unlawful"—that is, merely being cooked on fire does not render something unlawful, except if it contains an intoxicant or was already unlawful beforehand. For example, if a lawful (halal) thing is cooked on fire, eating it will not break ablution (wudu); rather, the lawful thing will remain lawful, and the ablution will also remain valid.
