Why purchase is allowed only through mobile App ?

[@FangYuanDaoistGu]

so that a muslim wouldn't buy alcohol, but eventually it would end up in the hands of muslims as well through physical purchases as well

Cant Saudi Just stop being so stupid and Just do a couple of islamic Laws without to Heavy of punishments and be done with it? No extremism.

[@joejoey7272]

It’s for diplomats only , as you are probably aware diplomats and embassies have always allowed to bring alcohol from abroad as they hold diplomatic passports so they are not subjected to local laws

[@ethosfofcrecatenviousnfvhf7421]

How about drugs even at underage?

@@AbdikarimMohamed-fh8jo typical abdul can not describe the meaning of 'western clothing'🤣🤣🤣 Arabs are lives is lavish and luxurious lifestyle however their manners remain unchanged all over the time, traditionally stone aged behavior and mind set.

He is a leader who will make positive changes and an example to radical Muslim countries that are aping Saudi Arabia.

[@karimlaghrissi4992]

Allah forbids us to deal in Haram and accommodate Haram. The same blessings we wish upon ourselves we wish others. If others are harming themselves, we should not accommodate those needs. These are not positions changes. These are regressive steps. Saudi leader is weak and unable to stand his ground.

[@joshJ.]

I wonder if women will be allowed to buy alcohol

[@ismailabdulghani161]

Because this is not important issue but you can see it in the gulf news

Maybe because you aren't in Saudi-Arabia?

Don't mind tourism (so long as they stay away from mecca and medina ),happy women are getting more rights,but alcohol is just disgusting,raves are just disgusting

[@FRANKHORRIGAN_ENCLAVESOLDIER]

I agree. I think a country doesnt have to follow islam and make Everything thats haram illegal but i Also think that some of those harams should be illegal. And i would like More Rights for women. But Saudi is going backwards

[@AbidullahFaizi]

Where are the “hypocrite clerics now”,why are they silent? and why are they silent about the “Hindu Temple” in UAE?,it means religion is not above governments,religion can be “tamed” and must be in their “proper place” but no influence to the governments.

[@TheAnonYmouse]

Look at these idolaters heralding and capitalizing on the liberalization. These were all prophesised by prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the ummah will continue to weaken until a certain point. May Allah guide us and rectify the affairs of our rulers.

Live long MBS..... This guy will pull out the Middle East from the Religious intolerance.

[@DeathMorethanlife]

You people want to steal the Middle East the Middle East holds significant religious importance to the three abrahamic faiths you can take it away from us

[@user-nu4um2gr3d]

When Muslims come to my country i'm always saying alcohol is part of our. culture if you don't like it keep it to yourself. If i went to Saudi Arabia I would not drink or purchase alcohol in their country out of respect for their culture.

Person who allowed to open wine shop in Saudi Arabia may also drinks wines secretly. Islam prohibit to drink wines. Every action must have equal & opposite reactions. M BS is producing hell fire for himself.

[@parjanyashukla176]

Alcohol was not just Halaal but Sunnah (according to Sahih Al-Khinzeer) for Muslims before some misguided Ulema made it haraam.

What is your source for that, dajjal?
