Alcohol is an abomination from the work of Satan, causing enmity and hatred, and hindering the remembrance of Allah and prayer, as mentioned in the noble verses of Surat Al-Ma'idah. It has medical, social, and psychological harms; it causes chronic diseases and madness, leads to suicide and murder, destroys social relationships, and drives its consumer to bankruptcy. Its harms after tooth extraction are no less than its harms at other times; therefore, its detrimental effects must be explained to anyone who asks about it.
