٣٨۔ كِتَابُ الْوَلِيمَةِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: If a large amount of anything causes intoxication, a small amount of it is prohibited. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3681)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا أَسْكَرَ كَثِيرُهُ فَقَلِيلُهُ حَرَامٌ»
"Intoxicants are unlawful in small or large amounts." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5698)
«الْمُسْكِرُ قَلِيلُهُ وَكَثِيرُهُ حَرَامٌ»
"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." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5581)
يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّ أَهْلَنَا يَنْبِذُونَ لَنَا شَرَابًا عِشَاءً فَإِذَا أَصْبَحْنَا شَرِبْنَاهُ فَقَالَ «أَنْهَاكَ عَنِ الْمُسْكِرِ قَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ وَأُشْهِدُ اللهَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْهَاكَ عَنِ الْمُسْكِرِ قَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ وَأُشْهِدُ اللهَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْهَاكَ عَنِ الْمُسْكِرِ قَلِيلِهِ وَكَثِيرِهِ وَأُشْهِدُ اللهَ عَلَيْكَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ يَنْتَبِذُونَ شَرَابًا مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا يُسَمُّونَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَهِيَ الْخَمْرُ وَإِنَّ أَهْلَ فَدَكٍ يَنْتَبِذُونَ شَرَابًا مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَيُسَمُّونَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَهِيَ الْخَمْرُ حَتَّى عَدَّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْرِبَةٍ أَحَدُهَا الْعَسَلُ»
