The answer

The "Every intoxicant is , and every intoxicant is forbidden" indicates that everything that intoxicates is called khamr, and that every intoxicant is forbidden, whether it is called khamr or by another name; because the reason for its prohibition is its intoxicating effect. The majority of scholars have ruled that both a little and a lot of that whose genus intoxicates are forbidden, citing this hadith and other hadiths as evidence. The summary of this is that khamr refers to everything that intoxicates, whether it is made from grapes, dates, barley, or other things, and intoxication is the covering of the intellect in a state of pleasure and delight.
