shape and similar to dry date), if it intoxicates, it is Ḥarām. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 3, pp. 672)
Mullā Aḥmad Jīwan Ḥanafī رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has quoted the following eight rulings regarding ‘Khamr’ in ‘Tafsīrāt-e-Aḥmadiyyaĥ’.
1. According to us, Khamr (alcohol) is ‘Ḥarām Li’ayniĥī’. Its prohibition is not linked with intoxication and it is not Ḥarām for the reason of intoxication. According to some people, intoxication caused by it is Ḥarām because this causes debauchery and prevents from the remembrance of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and from offering Ṣalāĥ. It should be noted that, according to us, the aforementioned belief is Kufr (unbelief) because it is a denial of (an injunction of) the Book of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has declared it as Rijs (impure) and Rijs is always ‘Ḥarām Li’ayniĥī’. There is consensus of the Ummaĥ on this ruling and same is also proven from the Sunnaĥ. Therefore, Khamr (alcohol) is Ḥarām Li’ayniĥī.
2. Khamr (alcohol) is Nijāsat-e-Ghalīẓaĥ i.e. a major impurity just like urine, and is proven as such by absolute injunctions.
3. It is of no value for Muslims. If someone wastes (destroys) or takes over a Muslim’s alcohol, he will not be liable to pay any compensation. Its trading is not allowed because Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has declared it impure to discredit it, hence, to value it, will be considered as crediting it and tending to void its discredit; although as per bona fide tradition, alcohol is considered in holdings.
