Drinking Liquor Without Getting Drunk Not Sinful

[DJKeefy]

In a sharp contradiction to what is common among Muslims, Khaled Al Gendy, a famous Islamic cleric and a member of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, stated that drinking liquor without getting drunk is not sinful.



“If the same alcoholic drink was consumed by one person without getting drunk, it is not haram, while being consumed by another person to drunkenness makes it haram [for this person],” the sheikh said, highlighting the difference between drinking liquor and getting drunk.

During a talk show on DMC TV channel, Al Gedy said that getting drunk is haram, sinful and forbidden in Islam, and all Islamic sharia laws related to the punishment apply to getting drunk as a consequence of drinking alcoholic beverages.

A drunken person is defined as one who cannot tell the bottom of a valley from its top, Al Gendy added.

Living here in Wales, we are not exactly unfamiliar with valleys, and no matter how rat ar5ed I get, I can always tell the bottom from the top.
I Guess I'm good to pass Al Gendies sobriety test at any given moment in time....

I look forward to Al Gendy's next pronouncement regarding - I understand - bestiality. *

More good news for our Welsh members.

*Sheep-******** is not haram if the sheep consents.

This statement will please my friend. When out with the Yanks they offered her a taste of red wine as she had stated that she had never touched alcohol, but refused as it was Haram to even touch the bottle, sniff or just taste it.
