Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The saying "Indeed, meat has an extravagance like the extravagance of wine" is not a prophetic . Rather, it is attributed to Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, with the wording: "Indeed, meat has an addiction like the addiction of wine." Its meaning is that whoever becomes accustomed to meat cannot abstain from it, just as one accustomed to wine cannot abstain from it.
