THE PROHIBITION OF ALCOHOL - PART 3
In this verse even though alcohol has not been declared Hara'am (impermissible), but its evils have been pointed out which can lead a person into sinful activities. In that manner the Quran has made a suggestion about giving up alcohol. It was for that reason that after this verse was revealed many Holy Companions (Sahaba) quit alcohol on the basis of this suggestion. However, some Companions thought that this verse has not declared alcohol to be Hara'am (impermissible). Rather it has declared it a source of evil as it leads to sinful activities. So if we are careful that we do not indulge in sinful activities because of alcohol, then there would be no harm in continuing to drink.
