حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّمِيعِ الْهَاشِمِيُّ ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْبُسْتَانِيُّ ، نَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، نَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، مِنْ وَلَدِ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ ، " عَنِ النَّبِيذِ ؟ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا بُنَيَّ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُحَرِّمِ الْخَمْرَ لاسْمِهَا ، وَإِنَّمَا حَرَّمَهَا لِعَاقِبَتِهَا ، وَكُلُّ شَرَابٍ يَكُونُ عَاقِبَتُهُ كَعَاقِبَةِ الْخَمْرِ ، فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ كَتَحْرِيمِ الْخَمْرِ " .
A man named Ja'far, who was from the descendants of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates from a person of his family that he asked Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about nabidh (a drink). Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: O my son! Allah Almighty did not declare khamr (intoxicant) unlawful because of its name, but He declared it unlawful because of its effect. So, every drink whose effect is like that of khamr, it will be unlawful just as khamr is unlawful.
