Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 5597

This hadith about intoxicants repeats a clear prophetic rule through Abu Musa: every intoxicant is unlawful. The strength of the wording is in its simplicity. It does not depend on whether the drink is common, old, new, cheap, expensive, homemade, or sold in a market. The key question is whether it intoxicates. People often search “every intoxicant is haram hadith” because they want a direct answer about alcoholic or intoxicating drinks. This narration gives that answer in a short form. It is a reminder to avoid what falls under intoxication and not to make the matter complicated with names or habits.

  • The hadith states that every intoxicant is unlawful.
  • The rule is simple and broad in wording.
  • The drink’s effect matters more than its label.
