Ibn Ḥibbān (5378); and from the hadith of Ibn ʿUmar through several routes recorded by Muslim (6/95–97) and Ibn Ḥibbān (5379 and 5387). Ibn Ḥibbān also narrated it from Abū Hurayrah (5380), and through another route from him with similar wording (5377).

The hadith plainly indicates the prohibition of nabīdh prepared in earthenware jars. Ibn ʿUmar explicitly stated that it was prohibited in one of Muslim’s narrations from him, and Ibn ʿAbbās affirmed what he said, declaring: “A jar is anything made of clay.” Clay is soil. Ibn al-Athīr said in al-Nihāyah: “It is the well-known pottery vessel. What was intended by the prohibition was coated jars, because they cause the drink to become strong and ferment more quickly.”

The scholars have differed over the ruling on preparing nabīdh in jars, according to various positions which al-Ḥāfiẓ mentioned in al-Fatḥ (10/58–62). Whoever wishes to examine them may refer to it.

Thus, if such a fear exists for certain people or in certain lands, then it is prohibited; otherwise, it is permissible. In that case, the Prophet’s saying applies: “...I forbade you concerning beverages, that you drink only from leather vessels; now drink from every vessel, but do not drink anything intoxicating.” Muslim and others narrated it, and it is cited in Aḥkām al-Janāʾiz (pp. 178–179) and elsewhere.
