Did you not read the link you yourself qouted at me?
Chapter 5, Verse 90 “O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, stone alters, and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.” "intoxicants are wine actually." - qoute Dino Mustafić (muslim, with friends that are scholars in it)
That user, speaks the language and says, people saying "intoxicans" are mis-translateing it. The actual word in the koran isnt "intoxicans" but "wine".
Thats what I mean. People are "reading" things into it, that arnt the words used in the koran. But if you look though the koran you can find mentions of various alcohol, by name, saying they are sinfull. However you wont find "mead" in there.
Where do I get this? My father told me, he heard it from a muslim. Found it funny, like a loop hole they have in there about it, and remembered it because of that. He told me, and I remembered it for the same reason.
Supposedly mead, a alchole made from honey, is supposed to be okay to drink by muslims. |
Well than your father's Muslim friend doesn't understand the religion. It is all about equivalence if something like this is banned and that other thing has a similar effect so that must be banned as well. Its a form of jurisprudence in Islam whose name I cannot remember in Islam. Another example is that if you as a son can pay the debt of your father then you can can also perform hajj for him if he never got the chance.
Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
