The reason of the name ‘Khamr’
Sayyidunā Imām Abū ‘Abbās Aḥmad bin Muhammad bin ‘Alī bin Ḥajar Makkī Shāfi’ī عَـلَيْهِ رَحْـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـقَـوِی (died in 974 A.H.) has mentioned in his book ‘اَلزَّوَاجِر عَنۡ اِقۡتِرَافِ الكَبَائِر’ that the reason of calling it ‘Khamr’ is that it conceals the brain power. The scarf of a woman is known as ‘Khimār’ for the same reason because it hides her face. Similarly, a person who hides his witness is called ‘Khāmir’. Alcohol is also known as ‘Khamr’ because it is kept covered until fermentation. The following words of Ḥadīš indicate similar word origin: خَـمِّرُوۡا اٰنِيَتَكُمۡ i.e. cover your utensils. (Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, vol. 3, pp. 591, Ḥadīš 5623 Multaqaṭan) According to few lexicographers, the reason of calling it ‘Khamr’ is that it upsets the senses. An Arabic proverb is also derived from the same root: خَامَرَهُ دَاءٌ i.e. disease has upset him. (Az-Zawājir ‘Aniqtirāf-il-Kabāir, vol. 2, pp. 292)
Ruling on alcohol
Sayyidunā Imām Nu’aym Aḥmad bin ‘Abdullāĥ Aṣfaĥānī قُـدِّسَ سِـرُّہُ الـنُّـوۡرَانِی has quoted in ‘Ḥilya-tul-Auliyā’ that once, fermented ‘Nabīż’ (that may cause intoxication) contained in a pitcher was brought in the blessed court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Throw it against the wall because it is a beverage for one who does not believe in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and in the Day of Judgment.’ (Ḥilya-tul-Auliyā, vol. 6, pp. 159, Ḥadīš 8148) The Merciful Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘Every intoxicant is wine and every intoxicant is Ḥarām.’ (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, pp. 1109, Ḥadīš 2003) It is mentioned in a Ḥadīš that the Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Every intoxicant is wine and every wine is Ḥarām.’ (ibid)
