Eucalyptus drink and beer

417

Q 3: What is the ruling on drinking beer and eucalyptus drink?

A: If beer or eucalyptus drink is intoxicating when drunk in large amounts, then it is not permissible to drink in large or small quantities. This is considered Khamr (intoxicant). On the other hand, if the drink is not intoxicating when drunk in large amounts, (Part No. 22; Page No. 152) then it is permissible to drink it, be it in large or small quantities. This is not considered Khamr, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "If a large amount of anything causes intoxication, a small amount of it is prohibited." May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
