Intoxicant refers to any type of beverage that will cause its consumer to become intoxicated and loses his intellectual ability in making proper judgment. When the intellect or mind can no longer function to control one’s actions and movements, then such person will become vulnerable to evil and negative behavior. Such is the reason why intoxicant is deemed as the mother of all evils. Allah Subhaanahu Wata‘aala mentions in al-Qur’an: “O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.” (al-Maa’idah 5:90)
