Sunnats of Drinking - ZIKR

How Did The Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) Drink’
The glass was held in the Prophet’s (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) right hand and he would sit down and pray ‘Bismillah.’ The method of drinking is to take three small sips by sucking the water without making any noise and moving the glass away from the mouth each time and praising Allah (The Exalted) each time by saying ‘Alhamdulillah’ and at the end the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would say ‘Ash-shukru-Lillahi.’

Manners Of Drinking

  1. Pray ‘Bismillah Hirahma Niraheem’ and drink with your right hand as the devil drinks and eats with the left hand.
  2. To sit and drink.
  3. Drink by taking three separate sips and not all at once. Separate the utensil from the mouth each time.
  4. Whilst drinking, suck the drink and do not make a noise.
  5. Do not blow into any drink for cooling.
  6. Say 'Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen’ after drinking.
  7. It is not permissible to throw away the left over drink.
  8. Always cover the water that is left in a glass, jug or pot.
  9. Drink where you can see in the container.

What if you are using a straw?

Re: Gulp or Sip?

If you asked a typical Mullah the answer will be like “Haraaam!! Straws are mentioned nowhere in the scrolls. You will be thrown into the burns. Feel free to use your straws there.”
