Then He -azwj Forbade from eating the likes of it as they would neither benefit by it nor take lightly with His -azwj Punishment. و أما الخمر فانه حرمها لفعلها و فسادها And as for the wine, so He -azwj Prohibited it due to its repercussions and its corruption’.

و قال: «إن مدمن الخمر كعابد وثن، و يورثه ارتعاشا، و يذهب بنوره، و يهدم مروءته، و يحمله على أن يجسر على المحارم من سفك الدماء، و ركوب الزنا، و لا يؤمن إذا سكر أن يثب على حرمه و هو لا يعقل ذلك، و الخمر لم يرد شاربها إلا إلى كل شر And the Imam -asws said: ‘The one habitual of the wine is like the worshipper of idols, and he would inherit the trembling, and his radiance would go away, and his manhood would be demolished, and he would be carried to being audacious upon the Prohibition of shedding the blood, and indulging in adultery.

And there is no safety when he is intoxicated, that he would leap upon his sanctimonious ones (commit incest) and he would not mind that. And the wine does not return it’s drinker except to every evil’.

He -asws said: ‘Whatever is slaughtered for an idol, or an image, or a tree, Allah -azwj has Prohibited that just as He -azwj Prohibited the dead, and the blood and the meat of the pig But the one who is desperate during hunger without inclination to sin [5:3] if he eats the dead’. قال: فقلت له: يا بن رسول الله، متى تحل للمضطر الميتة؟ He (the narrator) said, ‘So I said to him -asws , ‘O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww !

When is the dead Permissible for the desperate one?’ قال: «حدثني أبي عن أبيه، عن آبائه (عليهم السلام): أن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) سئل، فقيل له: يا رسول الله، إنا نكون بأرض فتصيبنا المخمصة، فمتى تحل لنا الميتة؟ قال: ما لم تصطبحوا، أو تغتبقوا، أو تحتفوا بقلا فشأنكم بهذا He -asws said: ‘My -asws father -asws narrated to me -asws from his -asws father -asws , from his -asws forefathers -asws that Rasool-Allah -saww was asked, it was said to him -saww , ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww !
