(3) باب تَحْرِيمِ التَّدَاوِي بِالْخَمْرِ
Wa'il al-Hadrami reported that Tariq b. Suwaid a-Ju'fi asked Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) about liquor. He forbade (its use) and he expressed hatred that it should be prepared. He (Tariq) said:
I prepare it as a medicine, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: It is no medicine, but an ailment. (ES)
