Is alcohol najis?
Conclusion: No, it is not
Explanation:
The question about the status of alcohol weather it is najis
or not, will have an effect on the status of antiseptic and also parfum. If it
is najis, then both are not suitable to perform taharah and also shalat. Some
scholar said alcohol is najis, but other said otherwise. The group who said
najis, argue with Quran Surah al-Maidah verse 90:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْخَمْرُ وَٱلْمَيْسِرُ وَٱلْأَنصَابُ وَٱلْأَزْلَـٰمُ
رِجْسٌۭ مِّنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ فَٱجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
Meaning: O believers! Intoxicants, gambling, idols,
and drawing lots for decisions are all evil of Satan’s handiwork. So, shun them
so you may be successful.
In it stated that khamr belong to rijs which many scholars
interpret that as najis. There are also hadith that support this opinion. But this
verse is the most popular proposition.
Other also used this verse as their base opinion. They said,
in those verse it stated that khamr, gambling, azlam (idol), al-anshab (drawing
lots for decisions), all used in the same sentence and all of it are
rijs. Just like gambling, idol, and drawing lots are not najis, then khamr is
also not najis.
According to Rasyid Ridha in al-Manar, alcohol is like
nabidz, which is not najis. Alcohol is not the same as khamr. Both are
different. In this case, the second opinion are better to be implemented in
modern era as many of us use alcohol as antiseptic especially in the medic and
also use it as perfume. The status of haram will only make us miserable (haraj)
in this life. Wallahu a’lam.
