Points Derived from the ḥadith:
1 – The prohibition of selling wine, working in its production, assisting in any way with it, drinking it, or using it as medicine.
Under the legal term “wine” falls every intoxicant, whether liquid or solid, whatever its source—grapes, dates, barley, or anything else. The same ruling applies to hashish, opium, tobacco, and qat; all of them are noxious and forbidden.

2 – They are forbidden because of the grave harm and immense corruption they bring to mind, religion, body, and wealth, together with the evils, hostilities, and crimes they spawn—corruptions too obvious to enumerate.

3 – The prohibition of carrion—its flesh, fat, blood, sinews, and every part in which life once circulated.
It is unlawful because it harms the body and is itself filthy, foul, and impure. Disgusting in every respect, it is prohibited to sell for precisely these harms and the absence of any benefit.

4 – The majority of scholars make an exception for the hair, down, wool, and feathers of a dead animal, for these are not organically connected to it; life does not run through them, so they do not absorb its filth.
As for its hide, it is impure before tanning. Once it has been well tanned and the process has removed its embedded impurities, it becomes lawful and pure in the view of the majority, though some limit its use to dry substances.
The first view is stronger, for the Prophet ﷺ said, “Water and qaradh (1) purify it.”

5 – The prohibition of selling swine—and likewise of eating it, touching it, or even approaching it. It is pure evil with no benefit whatsoever. Its harm to body and mind is severe: it poisons the flesh with its diseases and transmits its vile traits to whoever eats it. This is evident among the nations that consume it, who have become known for their lethargy.

6 – The prohibition of selling idols, for they inflict grave harm on intellect and religion when they are adopted and promoted in defiance of Allah, exalted be He.
This includes the cross—the emblem of the Christians—and the statues fashioned for leaders and ministers.
It also includes the images that appear in magazines, newspapers, and the like, especially the lewd, nude, and lascivious pictures that have captivated the young and inflamed their sexual desires, as well as cinematic films that brazenly depict vice and debauchery.
All of these are unmitigated evil, devoid of any good, pure corruption without the least benefit. Yet people have grown so accustomed to this wrongdoing that it is now regarded as normal. Allah’s help is sought.

7 – Preventing harm takes precedence over procuring benefit, especially when the harm outweighs the benefit.
