Please elaborate.<\/p>\n<div>There are doubts about the prohibition of alcohol.<\/div>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>I  do not understand the reason about the doubts. Alcohol is one of the  worst evils. It totally destroys the drinker\u2019s capacity of thought and  intellect. It vilifies the mind. Therefore Allah, on the peoples\u2019 asking  forbade it, denouncing it as a Satanic vile. This should remove any  doubt about its prohibition. The term <em>haraam<\/em> has acquired a legal  status in our society. Therefore, people deem a mention of it necessary  while talking of something forbidden. Allah has strictly forbidden  alcohol. The term \u201c<em>rijs min \u2018amal al-shaytan<\/em>\u201d establishes it without a doubt.<\/p>\n<div>People  might be confused in regards to the alcoholic content. They might  consider it permissible as long as it does not intoxicate.<\/div>\n<div>The  principle for things forbidden is that they stand forbidden in the  smallest quantity. It is only logical. The above argument is self  deception. It destroys like the plague once it enters the household.  Therefore the best remedy is to nip the evil in the bud. This was the  basis of forbidding it in its mildest form. For example person requests  to drive on the wrong side of the road, citing his ability to do so.  This request would be invalid as it may precipitate an accident any  time. Like wise alcohol consumption even in small amounts, may lead to  alcoholism. Therefore the best thing would be to avoid it at all costs.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>This question was answered by Mr Ghamidi in  Deen-o-Danish, an online TV session hosted by Dr Muneer Ahmad aired on  Dunay TV. The text has been rendered into English by Mr Dhu al-Nurain.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Javed Ahmad Ghamidi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-05<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6352\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is alcohol forbidden?
