Hadith 6.2

Prescribed Punishments

ENGLISH

‘A’isha reported God’s Messenger as saying, “If a <i>faraq</i> of anything causes intoxication, a handful of it is forbidden.”* Ahmad, Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud transmitted it. * To drink as much as a <i>faraq</i> (see p. 577) would be almost impossible, so the point of the tradition is to forbid anything which might in any conceivable circumstances cause intoxication.

ARABIC

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا أسكرَ مِنْهُ الفرْقُ فَمِلْءُ الْكَفِّ مِنْهُ حَرَامٌ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد
