Hello

I am a devoted muslim always trying to maintain my commitment to Islam and its teaching (failing at it sometimes). I have unfortunately started a habit of smoking weed and drinking codeine ( non-alcoholic drink rappers drink and talk about).

I know that weed & drugs are haram. My question is, is weed considered a sin equal to drinking alcohol? I have never drank alcohol in my life. But since weed isnt explicitly mentioned in the quran ive assumed it is not one of the major sinis (kabaer), but rather a sin similar to smoking cigarets.

Am I making a wrong assumption here?

Marijuana is an intoxicant and haram like all other intoxicants. Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم prohibited from anything which causes a lapse to the mind.

عن أم سلمة قالت نهى رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عن كل مسكر ومفتر.

سنن أبى داود - (ج 2 / ص 163 سعيد)

Umm Salma رضى الله عنها reports that Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم prohibited from every intoxicant and anything which causes a lapse to the mind. (Abu Dawood 2/163 Saeed)

Ibn Umar رضى الله عنه narrates that Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم said:

عن ابن عمر قال قال رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-

كل مسكر خمر وكل مسكر حرام ومن مات وهو يشرب الخمر يدمنها لم يشربها فى الآخر

سنن أبى داود - (ج 2 / ص 162سعيد)

“Every intoxicant is khamr, and every intoxicant is prohibited. He who dies whilst in the habit of taking intoxicants will not have of the intoxicants of the hereafter”

(Abu Dawood 2/162 Saeed)

Therefore one should immediately turn towards Allah Ta’ala, ask for forgiveness and start performing five daily salah. Do not become despondent from the mercy of Allah Ta’ala. Allah Ta’ala says in the Noble Quran

قل يا عبادي الذين أسرفوا على أنفسهم لا تقنطوا من رحمة الله إن الله يغفر الذنوب جميعا

إنه هو الغفور الرحيم (الزمر 53)

“Say to my servants who have wrong themselves don’t loose hope in the mercy of Allah for verily Allah forgives all sins. Verily He is the Most Forgiving Most Merciful. (39/53)

Allah Ta’ala mentions in the Noble Quran:

ورحمتي وسعت كل شيء (الاعراف 156)

“And My mercy encompasses all things” (7/156)

Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم said:

عن ابن عمر عن النبى -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قال « إن الله يقبل توبة العبد ما لم يغرغر »

سنن الترمذى ج 2 ص 194 سعيد

“Verily Allah Ta’ala accepts the repentance of his servant as long as he his not in the throws of death” (Tirmidhi 2/194 Saeed)

One should also make dua and ask Allah Ta’ala for help and steadfastness.

And Allah knows best

is coke and other fizzy drinks that contain ethanol haram according to this fatwa?

[xFZ3k8Mw]

is coke and other fizzy drinks that contain ethanol haram according to this fatwa?

no.

[UvjqTVVC]

no.

Marijuana is an intoxicant and haram like all other intoxicants. isnt ethanol an intoxicant?

[xFZ3k8Mw]

isnt ethanol an intoxicant?

In my understanding, it is permissible as long as it doesnt intoxicate. However, Marijuana primary use is only for futile smoking, hence it will not be permissible.

InshAllah this will be useful:

Regarding your query, it seems to be based on a misconception. i.e." if something taken in a large quantity is an intoxicant then it is Haram even in a small quantity". While this is the opinion of some Ulama, the illustrious Fuqaha of the Hanafi Mazhab don't hold this view.

According to the Hanafi Mazhab, alcohols are divided into 2 groups Khamr and non Khamr. Khamr can be said to be alcohol derived from dates and grapes while non-khamr is alcohol not derived from any of these two . Now according to the Hanafi school of Fiqh, the ruling regarding Khamr is that even the most minuscule amount of it is haraam, regardless of whether it intoxicates or not, while the ruling considering other alcohols is that only that amount is haraam which intoxicates.

A small amount which doesn't cause intoxication is not haraam. The only condition is that it must not be drunk for amusement and pastime in a manner resembling that of the fussaaq (major sinners). If it is drank to gain strength, to digest the food, for medical reasons etc then it is permissible as long as it does not intoxicate. The point you mentioned ie. ." if something taken in a large quantity is an intoxicant then it is Haram even in a small quantity" this is taken to apply only to Khamr, while all other alcohols would only be haraam in an amount that could intoxicate.

Thus if you see the answers we give, we clearly state that alcohols made from things other than dates and grapes are permissible as long as they are in such a small amount that couldn't intoxicate eg. most softdrinks contain minuscule amounts of ethanol, however this is classified as permissible as even if one drinks so much of a particular softdrink that he cannot possibly drink a sip more, even the person with the lowest alcohol tolerance would not become intoxicated. (See Al-hidayah Vol.2 Pg.497, Ahkaamul Quraan liljassaas Vol.2 Pg.5, Bahrur Raaiq Vol.8 Pg.247,Shaami Vol.6 Pg.452-H.M.Saeed, Mabsoot Vol.24 Pg.15, Bada'i Vol.5 Pg.113, Tabyeen Vol.6 Pg.46, Tuhfatul Fuqaha Vol.3 Pg.325, Alamgiri Vol.5 Pg.412, Shilbi alat Tabyeen Vol.6 Pg.47, Ahsanul Fatawa Vol.8 Pg.488)

We hope that this has clarified the matter for you.

In case any further clarity is needed feel free to contact us.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows

Marijuana is mentioned in the books by its name "Banj"

Someone wants marijuana to be permissible jk

the only leeway would I guess be the legal leeway of glaucoma. It has been used as medication before but not in the smoking sense I guess rather in the drink they make. I remember in Pakistan its called Bhang and the drink is called Saawi. But the differencing factor would be whether its futile or medicative.

[CO2490pL]

glaucoma is cool

if a person were to purposefuly get intoxicated on non-khamr, the would his body be regarded as impure for 40 days?

[xFZ3k8Mw]

if a person were to purposefuly get intoxicated on non-khamr, the would his body be regarded as impure for 40 days?

I am not sure where that question would come from? But the normal state is that for 40 days the ibadaat are not accepted. That too, it doesnt mean that the obligation of those ibadaat is lifted rather his act will remove all the barakah of his ibadat.

Other than that I do not know abut body being regarded impure

im trying to understand the difference between using non-khamr intoxicants in the right way and in the wrong way.

if a person uses a non-khamr intoxicant in the right way then his 40 days ibadat would be accepted right?
and if he uses it in the wrong way then 40 days ibadat would not be accepted?

what are the sharee punishments for consuming khamr in this world and what are the punishments in the next world?
what are the sharee punishments for consuming non-khamr (in the wrong way) in this world and what are the punishments in the next world?

sorry for asking so many questions but they are very valid in this day and age especially to educate the youth.

Khamr : If you consume even a drop or sip, it is wajibul hadd. i.e if you are found guilty of it then the imam/Ameer will give you lashes.
If you get the lashes, then you will inshAllah not be punnished in akhira since you have already paid for your crime.
If you do not get lashes, then the sin of it will be judged by Allah. I do not remember about what the ukhrawi punishment is, but it will be much more severe than what one may get in this world.

Non-Khamr : It is permissible in smaller quantities which does not intoxicate, provided its not done out of futility (lahwan) etc. However the ruling of khamr will apply on the "intoxication" in it.
If you drink without any need, and get drunk then you will be given hadd if your are found guilty of it.
If you drink and no one finds out, then your judgement will be by Allah. Getting drunk (intoxicated) is same haram as drinking khamr.

The alcoholic drinks of today are made solely for the purpose of getting drunk. So there is no reason for drinking them. Unless there is a shar'i need, like you are on the verge of death by thirst and only thing you have is khamr, then ijazah will be given to drink it to the level of regaining composure.

Ethanol or ethyl alcohol have become a umum bulwaa now. It has become difficult to avoid their usage. For this reason and for the fact that this ethanol is non-khamr anyway, the small quantities are given permissibility. This is aside from the fact that it is inconceivable to get drunk with the minute amounts in solvents etc.
