What is the ruling on that which intoxicates and kills before intoxication, and is gasoline considered wine?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Every intoxicant is Khamr (wine/alcohol) and is impermissible to consume, based on the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing to] stone altars for idols, and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may succeed." Every intoxicant is forbidden, whether in small or large quantities. It is Khamr, and its ruling is the same as that of grape juice in its prohibition and the necessity of applying the prescribed punishment (حد) to its drinker.

Furthermore, anything that leads to the destruction of the soul or causes harm to it is impermissible to undertake, as the Almighty states: "And do not kill yourselves. Indeed, Allah is ever Merciful to you."
