I asked the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah! we live in a cold land in which we do heavy work and we make a liquor from wheat to get strength from if for our work and to stand the cold of our country. He asked: Is it intoxicating? I replied: Yes. He said: You must avoid it. I said: The people will not abandon it. He said: If they do not abandon it, fight with them. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3683)   

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا بِأَرْضٍ بَارِدَةٍ نُعَالِجُ بِهَا عَمَلًا شَدِيدًا وَإِنَّا نَتَّخِذُ شَرَابًا مِنْ هَذَا الْقَمْحِ نَتَقَوَّى بِهِ عَلَى أَعْمَالِنَا وَعَلَى بَرْدِ بِلَادِنَا قَالَ هَلْ يُسْكِرُ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ هَلْ يُسْكِرُ؟ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ قُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ غَيْرُ تَارِكِيهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَتْرُكُوهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ شَرَابًا مِنْ هَذَا الْقَمْحِ نَتَقَوَّى بِهِ عَلَى أَعْمَالِنَا وَعَلَى بَرْدِ بِلَادِنَا قَالَ «هَلْ يُسْكِرْ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ» ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «هَلْ يُسْكِرُ» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ» قُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ غَيْرُ تَارِكِيهِ قَالَ «فَإِنْ لَمْ يَتْرُكُوهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ»  

[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we live in a cold land where we engage in strenuous work. We take a drink made from this wheat to fortify ourselves for our work and against the cold of our land." He asked, "Does it cause intoxication?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then avoid it." Then I approached him again and said the same thing. He asked, "Does it cause intoxication?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then avoid it." Then I said, "But people cannot give it up." He said, "If they do not give it up, then kill them." And so on.
