The Messenger of Allah [SAW] was asked about mead and he said: "Every drink that intoxicates is unlawful," and mead is made from honey. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5593)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْبِتْعِ؟ فَقَالَ «كُلُّ شَرَابٍ أَسْكَرَ حَرَامٌ» فِي حَدِيثِ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ «وَالْبِتْعُ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ»
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Every intoxicant is unlawful.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3387)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ»
"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] sent me to Yemen and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, there are (different kinds of) drinks there, what should I drink, and what should I refrain from?' He said: 'What are they?' I said: 'Al-Bit' (mead) and Al-Mizr (beer).' He said: 'What are mead and beer?' I said: 'Mead is a drink made from honey and beer is a drink made from grains.' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Do not drink any intoxicant, for I have forbidden all intoxicants.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5603)
بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بِهَا أَشْرِبَةً فَمَا أَشْرَبُ وَمَا أَدَعُ؟ قَالَ «وَمَا هِيَ؟» قَالَ الْبِتْعُ وَالْمِزْرُ قَالَ «وَمَا الْبِتْعُ؟ وَمَا الْمِزْرُ؟» قُلْتُ أَمَّا الْبِتْعُ فَنَبِيذُ الْعَسَلِ وَأَمَّا الْمِزْرُ فَنَبِيذُ الذُّرَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ ﷺ «لَا تَشْرَبْ مُسْكِرًا فَإِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ كُلَّ مُسْكِرٍ»
"I asked Ibn 'Abbas, when he was leaning back against the Ka'bah, about Badhaq (a drink made from the juice of grapes slightly boiled). He said: 'Muhammad came before Badhaq (i.e., it was not known during his time), but everything that intoxicates in unlawful.'" He said: "I was the first of the 'Arabs to ask him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5687)
«سَبَقَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ الْبَاذَقَ وَمَا أَسْكَرَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ» وَقَالَ أَنَا أَوَّلُ الْعَرَبِ سَأَلَهُ
Yes. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Every intoxicant is forbidden. Verily Allah the Exalted and Majestic, made a covenant to those who drank intoxicants to make their drink Tinat al-Khabal. They said: Messenger of Allah, what is Tinat a]-Khabal? He said: It is the sweat of the denizens of Hell or the discharge of the denizens of Hell. (Using translation from Muslim 2002)
أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ جَيْشَانَ وَجَيْشَانُ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ قَدِمَ فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ شَرَابٍ يَشْرَبُونَهُ بِأَرْضِهِمْ مِنَ الذُّرَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمِزْرُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَوَ مُسْكِرٌ هُوَ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ إِنَّ اللهَ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ لِمَنْ شَرِبَ الْمُسْكِرَ يَسْقِيهِ مِنْ طِينَةِ الْخَبَالِ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا طِينَةُ الْخَبَالِ؟ قَالَ «عَرَقُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ أَوْ عُصَارَةُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ»
A man asked about drinks and he said: "Avoid everything that intoxicates." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5696)
