Sunan an-Nasai 5730 (Book 51, Hadith 192) #20263
The Ineffectiveness of Fire

SUMMARY: Fire does not make anything permissible or forbidden.

'Ata' said: "I heard Ibn 'Abbas say: 'By Allah, fire does not make anything permissible or forbidden'." He said: "Then he explained what he meant by 'it does not make permissible' as referring to what they said about At-Tila (thickened grape juice), and he explained what he said about 'it does not make forbidden' as referring to performing Wudu' after eating something that has been touched by fire".
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قِرَاءَةً أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ مَا تُحِلُّ النَّارُ شَيْئًا وَلاَ تُحَرِّمُهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ فَسَّرَ لِي قَوْلَهُ لاَ تُحِلُّ شَيْئًا لِقَوْلِهِمْ فِي الطِّلاَءِ وَلاَ تُحَرِّمُهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the ineffectiveness of fire when it comes to making something permissible or forbidden. It was narrated by 'Ata and Ibn 'Abbas who said that fire does not make anything permissible or forbidden. They then explained what they meant by this statement; referring to what they said about At-Tila which is a thickened grape juice and performing Wudu' after eating something that has been touched by fire. This hadith teaches us that even though fire can be used for many things such as cooking food and providing warmth, it cannot be used to determine whether something is permissible or forbidden according to Islamic law.
