Praise be to Allah. May peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions!
Good foodstuff, drinks, and transactions are made Divinely lawful to people for they need them and due to their great usefulness and harmlessness. Allah also (Glorified and Exalted be He) prohibited all evil foodstuff, drinks, and transactions due to their great harm and uselessness or due to the overweighed benefit contained when compared to the overwhelming harm to follow.
They ask you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) what is lawful for them (as food). Say: "Lawful unto you are AtTayyibât [all kind of Halâl (lawfulgood) foods which Allâh has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables and fruits)].
O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and AlAnsâb, and AlAzlâm (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaitan's (Satan) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful. Shaitân (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allâh and from AsSalât (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?
committing sins. It is one of the most abominable major sins. Allah has promised those who drink Khamr and do not repent before their death, to give them Tinat AlKhabal which is the discharge of the people of Hellfire to drink. We seek refuge with Allah.
