Intoxicants are Unlawful

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was asked about the legality of beer and he responded that any intoxicant is unlawful.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah SAW delivered a Khutbah and quoted the Verse about Khamr. A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about Al-Mizr (beer)?' He said: 'What is beer?' He said: 'A (drink) from grains that is made in Yemen'. He said: 'Does it intoxicate?' He said: 'Yes'. He said: 'Every intoxicant is unlawful'."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَذَكَرَ آيَةَ الْخَمْرِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ الْمِزْرَ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَمَا الْمِزْرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ حَبَّةٌ تُصْنَعُ بِالْيَمَنِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ تُسْكِرُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibition of intoxicants in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was asked about a type of drink called Al-Mizr which is made from grains and found in Yemen. When he was told that it causes intoxication, he said that every intoxicant is unlawful. This hadith teaches us that Muslims should not consume any type of alcohol or other substances which can cause intoxication as it goes against Islamic teachings. It also shows us how knowledgeable the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was as he knew what Al-Mizr was even though it originated from Yemen and not his home country of Arabia. Furthermore, this hadith serves as a reminder to all Muslims to stay away from anything which can lead to intoxication or harm their health in any way.
