The mentioned , "If the cups clink, what is in them becomes forbidden," has no basis in the Prophetic , nor is it even mentioned in books of fabricated Hadith. Sheikhs Ibn Baz and Al-Fawzan have both confirmed that it is not authentic. As for the ruling on clinking glasses when drinking, it is prohibited and forbidden because it imitates alcohol drinkers. Imam Al-Ghazali affirmed this by forbidding such actions even if the beverage itself is permissible.
