657 - حُرمَةُ ما فَعَلَ فِعلَ الخَمرِ

657. The Prohibition of That Which PRODUCES THE SAME EFFECTS AS ALCOHOL

1979.الإمامُ الكاظمُ عليه السلام : إنّ اللَّهَ عزّوجلّ لم يُحَرِّمِ الخَمرَ لاسْمِها، ولكنّهُ حَرّمَها لعاقِبَتِها ؛ فما كانَ عاقِبَتُهُ عاقِبَةَ الخَمرِ فهُو خَمرٌ .¹

1979.Imam al-Kazim (AS) said, 'Allah did not prohibit alcohol because of its name, rather He prohibited it due to its effects, so whatever produces the same effects as alcohol is [treated as] alcohol.' ²
