Q: We all know that Khamr is forbidden in this life, because it causes intoxication and covers reason. Therefore, it is one of the evils of Satan. It is also a source of all evil as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said. The question is: Your Eminence, why is Khamr Haram (prohibited) in the world and Halal (lawful) in the Hereafter?
A: The Khamr of the Hereafter is good and free from intoxication or harm. As for the Khamr of the world, it contains intoxication and causes harm i.e. the Khamr of the Hereafter does not contain any kind of harm. Thus, those who drink it will not suffer intoxication. It also does not contain anything that prevents reasoning or causes harm to bodies. As for the Khamr of the world, it causes harm to the reason and body. All disadvantages contained in the Khamr of the world are not existent in the Khamr of the Hereafter. May Allah grant us success!
