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.
That fact we have both an innate ability and desire to search for the truth means that God designed this in us. Which means that the uncertainty that comes from self reliance is part of the journey we are supposed to go on. God would not have given us the ability to reason and then somehow have forgotten that we would use that reasoning to understand him/her and his/her motivations :)
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 Hi Not sure your what your point is. Islam allows self defence like all idiologies. The general principle I was referring to is how Muslims should behave like in the social sense. Strongly recommend reading 'State and Government in Islam' by Muhammad Asad.
@@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.
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 read somewhere that around 800 or 900 AD, the King of the Bulgars decided to ditch paganism and choose monotheism to “get on with the times”. He chose Christianity over Islam because he did not want to give up the drink.
The entire topic of haram and halal has transformed Muslim peoples into 5 year olds in their level reasoning. Really. Very few dual concepts have had such a damaging intellectual and philosophical impact on large groups of people for so long. And so persistent as well!
How much is small and doesn't become intoxicant/Haram? In the past I got drunk just from 320mL of beer with 4.8% alcohol, so the tolerance is different for people Prevention is best, and Allah knows best
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)
As Allah told in the book, How do term a thing Haram when I have not. ? Quran does not make the intoxicant Haram, wine, or anything other drinks, it is discouraged. Please don't interpret and expound, just convey what is revealed.
As far as I know , many Shahabas used to fermented meals or fermented fruit juices , actually Imam abu hanifa loves it . I love Imam Abu Hanifa and Imam Malik , I distance myself away from Imam Shafei and Imam Ahmad. I think most of the fitna comes from them and they change many ruling according to Banu Umayyah.
Mufti what is worse paying interest on your mortgage or buying the house with ill gotten gains, just to throw a spanner ..... ps in your opinion obviously
According to you, if dogs,lions, tigers, gorillas, hyenas, monkeys,cats, snakes, are not haraam, what stops you from not eating them? You should eat them and also encourage ppl to eat the "halaal" things.
Post Rashidun Caliphates(Rashidun-Rightly Guided), were tyrants not rightly guided. Most Fuqaha' against them, even the family of Prophets leads a lots of rebellion
i think he said the other intoxocant aren't same with khamar but they still haram and khaamar is the wrost , the hudud is only applied to khammar the other will only be punished with tazir or punsihment that lesser than hudud
Only if taken at a level that causes intoxication. I'm a pharmacist and a Muslim as well so I made a video explaining the Hanafi fiqh perspective on my channel from a medicinal chemistry and pharmacology point of view while examining Abu Hanifa's evidence from the Quran, Sunnah and accounts of the Sahaba

After conquest, Muslims thought it would be easier to spread Islam as it would have greater influence of Islam on the masses. I'm not justifying it. But that's what they thought.
@@rayyanamir8560 No, Bro. It was justified and islamically legalized for personal lust for wealth, gold, properties and women. Daawah is not conquest. Islam came to Malaysia, Indonesia through traders who inspired people by their character n moral values. Daawah is not about military conquest and convert people through terror and hostility. 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.
@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.
You’re talking politics and earthly matters now. You don’t know how God judged them. They were mortal men just because they use Gods name means nothing
