companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم that when alcohol was declared Ḥarām, some of them went to see their friends and said, ‘Alcohol has been declared as Ḥarām and classed equal to polytheism (in terms of being sin).’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabīr, vol. 12, pp. 30, Ḥadīš 12399)
Alcohol is not permissible even for medication. The Mother of Believers,
Sayyidatunā Umm-e-Salamaĥ رَضِیَ
اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has said, ‘Once my
daughter fell ill so I prepared ‘Nabīz’ (an extract) for her in a container. When
the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى
اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came, that ‘Nabīz’ was foaming (meaning, froth had developed
in it). He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى
عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked, ‘O Umm-e-Salamaĥ

تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا,

عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that my daughter
was ill and I needed to prepare this ‘Nabīz’
for her. He
صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘A thing which Allah
عَزَّوَجَلَّ has declared Ḥarām for
my Ummaĥ, there is no cure in it for them.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabīr,
vol. 23, pp. 326, Ḥadīš 749)
It is thus evident that whatever is declared prohibited by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Rasūl صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has no cure in it.
Sayyidunā Abū ‘Abdullāĥ Muhammad bin Muhammad ‘Abdarī Fāsī Mālikī رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, famously known as Ibn-ul-Ḥāj (died in 737A.H.) has quoted in his book ‘اَلۡمَدۡخَل’ (Al-Madkhal) that it is derived from the above mentioned Ḥadīš that, whatever is declared Ḥarām, blessings are vanished from its usage. (Al-Madkhal, vol. 2, pp. 307)
Sayyidunā Fuḍayl bin ‘Ayāz رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه came to one of his students at the time of his death and started reciting ‘Sūraĥ
