Drinking always struck me as particularily bad.
One may miss prayers because of the simple passing of time, being lazy, whatever. One may have to pay interest on a mortgage, becuase the alternative is a severe hardhsip. Or again, it’s so intertwined with the economies of where we live, it’s a daunting task to avoid it. Many excuses, which at the very least makes one pause…even if they are just excuses.
Drinking, on the other hand, is deliberate. One really has to go out of their way to have a drink…there is a compulsion in it, clearly.
Exactly …
Also, drinking habits could lead to people missing prayers and taking out loans to support the habit thus paying interest. It could lead to lies and sultry behaviour too.
