Muslims who act in absolutist and literalist (read Salafi) terms about what is permissible often go to extremes in practicing what is permissible( or what is haram). As you say what is allowed or permissible doesn't mean its good or should be implemented to the letter .Permissible doesn't mean you should do it, it just marks the boundary if what is allowed. An example of permissibility being stretched to the edge is cousin marriages, very common in Arab and Indo Pak cultures. Just because it is permissible doesn't mean that it should become the norm. It's medical dangers are obvious and it should be a practice that is rare and not the norm. It's the same message in your example of Maliki saying all animals except the pig are haram. It doesn't mean you should start eating dogs. Arabs in the Peninsula are famous for eating lizards. It is not haram, but this doesn't mean all Muslims should eat lizards ( except Salafis, they will eat whatever the Arabs eat). In a famous hadith, some Arabs prepared lizard meat for the prophet. When he was about to eat it, someone mentioned to him that it was lizard meat. He withdrew his hand in horror, and declined to eat it. He waas asked if it was haram, and he said it wasn't , but that he wouldn't eat it because it was not part of his culture and traditions. Even when things are within the permissible, you have to understand how to deal with this based on reasoning, science and even your own cultural practices. Stretching permissibility in this way( for example eating lizards, marrying cousins) is like people being shown the border of their country and everyone decides to move to the border and live there, just because it is permissible to live there.

I'm not convinced that khamr 'was just wine'. There were many variations of alcoholic drinks 1450 years ago. Mankind has had a long history of fermenting alcoholic drinks of various types, including wine and beer. I'm sure the use the term al-khamr is meant in the general sense. According to Umar Ibn Al-Khatab, khamr is that what fogs the brain. Hence any substance, solid, liquid or gas which makes a person intoxicated is a khamr. By the way those who restrict the meaning of khamr to 'wine' only do this to uphold their ideas of qiyas, deduction by 'analogy', something completely rejected by Ibn Hazm and the Zaheeri legal school of thought in Sunni Islam. Mufti has another video about beloved Sheikh Asrar and hallucinogens. I'm afraid I do not agree that somehow they are not haram. We have a general command in the Prophet's sunna making it clear that it is forbidden to endanger our lives. Losing one's self controll by taking hallucinogens is not what Islam asks of Muslims. All these drugs have serious side effects. Islam asks Muslims to be fully in control of their faculties at all times and especially when doing ibadah.

@@c5quared626 I'm not 'Hanafi'. If he allowed 'honey wine', you ned to ask him or the scholars that follow him. I've already expalined 'al-khamar' is a general statement, especially as its using the definate article. Anything that fogs the brain is an intoxicant. It does not have to be delibarate, it could be even be accidental, therefore any acts of ibadah when intoxicated are not accepted. The fiqh question seems to be 'what percentage of alcohol will cause no intoxication ?' The answer is clearly complicated. We know some Muslims drink 'Alcohol free ' lager. The quantity of alcohol is too small to have any effect. However the best advice is just stay away from them.

[@sifatraihan3455]

I wonder if Ibn Sina followed the early Hanafi ruling on alcohol. He praises wine (in small quantities) for its ability to aid to philosophical speculation in his autobiography. Either that, or he just didn’t care what the fuqaha had to say.

I address this hadith in my video on Hanafi fiqh and Medicinal Chemistry explaining Abu Hanifa's position. If the broad definition of khamr is used, this hadith quickly falls apart logically and suddenly water and caffeine become haram (water intoxication and stimulant psychosis from caffeine are both possible in large amounts and I'm sure you're aware of the hadith that says if something intoxicates in a large amount a small amount is forbidden)

@@rayyanamir8560 No, Bro. It was justified and islamically legalized for personal lust for wealth, gold, properties and women. Daawah is not conquest.

This is wrong morally n ethically. If you can't convince and win the hearts of people instead of their lands then its not Islam. This is huge decieve and lie to Muslim world. We've always been so proud for ruling 3 Continents. Aggression can't be justified. British did the same. Last expedition led by Hazrat Osama R.A that took place in last days of prophet's life was against arab rebellious tribes on the border areas who were plundering, looting and creating chaos and were backed by Persians or Romans but after Prophet death all other expeditions are questionable/ambiguous.

[@IrfanKhan-resistance]

@Heisenberg Not just Usman. After prophet s.a.w when Khilafat came into existence hazrat abu bakar started expedition and after that it never stopped. One more thing was that the dispute between Ali and Mavia was also due to hazrat Usman who designated more of bannu Ummaya Governors on many provinces and this is called nepotism and favoritism which eventually destroyed merit of khilafat and Democratic norms and these all feudal goons of bannu umayya revolted against hazrat Ali at once in his tenure. Mavia was the first who turned Khilafat into monarchy, absolutism, dictatorship.
