Consensus dictates that alcohol is forbidden (), and it is considered ritually impure (najāsa ʿayniyya) by most scholars. It is not permissible to use it, benefit from it, or mix it with food. The wife must advise her husband gently, calmly, and kindly to explain the religious ruling regarding his belief that alcohol is purified by fire, seeking help from Allah Almighty and supplicating for him. If she cannot advise him, then she should ask his righteous friends or relatives to advise him.
