Sunan an-Nasai 5587 — Every Intoxicant Is Unlawful

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5587

This hadith about intoxicants uses very few words, but its message is plain. The Prophet says, “Every intoxicant is unlawful.” The key word is “intoxicant.” The hadith does not ask the listener to first check the drink’s name, country, or ingredient. It points to what the drink does. For users searching “all intoxicants are forbidden” or “hadith about alcohol,” this narration gives the main rule in a simple form. It also helps a person avoid confusion when drinks have different names. If something is described as an intoxicant, the hadith says it is unlawful. The teaching is direct, practical, and easy to apply with care.
