Subject: Re: is it allowed to touch alchol Author: Moustafa Morsy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:17:39 10/14/02 Mon Author Host/IP: mt.24.171.69.29.charter-stl.com/24.171.69.29 In reply to: farooq 's message, "is it allowed to touch alchol" on 05:49:12 10/14/02 Mon Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe! Intoxicants, gambling, al-ansaab [animals that are sacrificed on stone altars for idols], and al-azlaam [arrows for seeking luck or decision], are an abomination of Shaytaan’s handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful. Shaytaan wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allaah and from al-salaah (the prayer). So will you not then abstain?” [al-Ma’idah 5:90-91], then we look at the general meaning of the phrase So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination), and say that alcohol should be avoided in all cases, whether it is drunk or applied to the skin, or used in some other way. If we look at the reason why, Allaah says, “Shaytaan wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allaah and from al-salaah (the prayer). So will you not then abstain?” We may understand this to mean that only drinking it is forbidden, because applying it to the skin does not lead to that (enmity and hatred, etc.). So, if you need to touch alchol ,so it is ok according to so many ulamaa. If the people are bringing the alchol in the work place to use it in any thing other than drinking it or putting it in the food, then it is ok . Allah Knows Best. Moustafa Morsy.
