serving alcohol

Brother, my humble apologies for not quoting the details here. It is actually the words of the Prophet (s.a.w) in a hadith. My intentions of saying "As Allah said" was that the prophet (saw) doesn't say anything without the order and permission of Allah (s.w.t). Besides that there is a Quanic verse that supports this view as well.

Following are the details of what I have heard about it (other than what I already mentioned in my previous posts)

*In the Quran:
*

"O ye who believe! Intoxicants and Gambling, (Dedication of) stones, And (divination by) arrows, Are an Abomination – Of Satan’s handiwork; Eschew such (abomination), That ye may prosper." [Al-Qur'ân 5:90]

** In the Hadith:**

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

a. In Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chapter 30 Hadith No. 3371.

** "Alcohol is the mother of all evils and it is the most shameful of evils." **

b. In Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chapter 30 Hadith No. 3392

**
"Anything which intoxicates in a large quantity, is prohibited even in a small quantity." **

Thus there is no excuse for a nip or a tot.
