- azth 5y agoThat's correct, all intoxicants are prohibited in Islam. The word (khamr) refers to any substance that masks a person's thinking ability (the word "khimaar" is a face veil, and both khimaar and khamr derive from the same root). And it's not a reading as much as an explicit text: > "Every intoxicant is Khamr and every intoxicant is unlawful." https://sunnah.com/nasai:5699 https://sunnah.com/nasai:5699
