Consumption Of Intoxicants
Sheikh Salaah Al Budair

Consumption of alcohol, intoxicants, doing drugs, sniffing or smoking them are from the greatest prohibitions and most dangerous distractions that have overtaken the Muslim youth and took away their mind,health, life, dignity, and they were led into the worst paths and problem

Abdul Malik Ibn Marwan said describing intoxicant” its first stage is bitterness, its last stage is intoxication, it inebriate the mind and causes ignorance, it removes decency and spoils one’s youth, and leads to befriending the lowest kind of people and ruin the character

It is a distraction from the remembrance of Allah and keeps the person away from praying, doing good, likewise, it spoils the mind and affects the mood, personality, behavior and morality

Drugs and intoxicants in all of their forms whether the chemical or synthetic drugs that contains lethal and poisonous substances that have spread through out muslim communities that would lead to death, suicide, aggressive behaviour

Tarfa Ibn Al And
"I was still heavily drinking intoxicants and they were still my sweet taste
I would still buy and spend all of what I had heir and earned
Until all of my people have forsaken me
I was left alone to my lusts of intoxicants like a scabies stricken camel"

What a shame, what a disgrace, how low does the person who is consumes and is addicted to intoxicants which he does not seem to be detached from them can go! And what a heedlessness, blindness and destruction he is leading for him to cause himself to fall into this grave mistake

Due to these harmful and horrendous effects all texts by consensus have proven them to be impermissible and forbidden. Its impermissibility is highly emphasized by the religion and it is one of the major sins.

Thus, Intoxicants and drugs are from the most wicked and forbidden filth which the accursed satan commands a person to do, and are from his ways of misleading people because satan only calls for disobedience and know that the wicked only calls for wickedness.

Know that by beautifying drinking intoxicants and doing drugs the goal of the accursed satan and his aim is to get the servant to do acts which leads the servant to eternally be casted into the hellfire the dwelling of the looser along with him

Therefore, whoever dies while he is considers them to be permissible, then he has died upon rejecting his belief and in a state of disbelief after Islam because he has made that which is impermissible to be permissible.

Dear Muslims: whoever dies in a state of addiction to intoxicants while not considering them to be permissible, he will not drink them in the hereafter.

“Selling intoxicants is forbidden whether they were sold by a Muslim or non-Muslims, or they were bought and sold by a non Muslim parties, or if a Muslim hires a non Muslim to sell them it would still be forbidden and prohibited and there is no question about it.

People who make drugs, deal it, and smuggle it to our country and our youth as well as to Muslim countries are the most despicable people and most corrupt belief, also they have the dirtiest mind and sleaziest behavior and they are the enemy of the Sunnah and its followers.

Therefore, wake up O Muslim youth and be careful O Muslim girls and beware of people of monotheism and Sunnah, and distance yourselves from the path of drugs and intoxicants and do not fall prey to the drug dealers and smugglers, and do not be deceived by bad companionship.

Do not hang out with drug addicts or junkies and do not take the path of deviation.

Therefore, we extend our gratitude and appreciation to the directorate general for anti narcotics in our precious and beloved country for its great heroic role in stopping smuggling operations and tracking down those who are responsible for them both inside our country and abroad

And we remind our Muslim brothers of the importance of cooperating with them and support their programs and the importance of reporting the drug dealers and smugglers and uncovering their networks and malicious hideouts.

It is not permissible to cover for them, and whoever covers for them is complicit with them in their crime, thus, Fear Allah regarding your people.

Our goal, hope and motto is to have a country without drug addiction, families without drug abuse and a life without the poison of drugs and our only weapon is education raising awareness and good upbringing, then know that strong family ties, love and affability between parents

We call upon every addict to rid himself of these habits and be distant from them and never taste them ever again, it is time to get back up on your feet and stand against your addiction even if you relapse and you must repent.

Do not be despondent and return to your loved ones and regain your decent life, a life of dignity honor, happy and peaceful.
