✅Answer: Please pay attention to the following narrations:

1 عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَأَلَ أَبِي أَبَا عَبْداللَّه عَنِ الَّذِي يُعِيرُ ثَوْبَهُ لِمَنْ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَأْكُلُ الْجِرِّيَّ أَوْ يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ فَيَرُدُّهُ أَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْسِلَهُ قَالَ لَا يُصَلِّي فِيهِ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهُ

Abdullah ibn Sinan said: 'My father asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a person who lends his shirt to someone he knows eats sea-serpent or drinks wine, and then he returns the shirt. Should he pray in it before washing it?'

He said: 'He should not pray in it until he washes it.'

2 عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ فِي كِتَابِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي الْخَمْرِ يُصِيبُ ثَوْبَ الرَّجُلِ أَنَّهُمَا قَالا لَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ إِنَّمَا حَرُمَ شُرْبُهَا وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ [غیر] زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا أَصَابَ ثَوْبَكَ خَمْرٌ أَوْ نَبِيذٌ يَعْنِي الْمُسْكِرَ فَاغْسِلْهُ إِنْ عَرَفْتَ مَوْضِعَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْ مَوْضِعَهُ فَاغْسِلْهُ كُلَّهُ وَ إِنْ صَلَّيْتَ فِيهِ فَأَعِدْ صَلَاتَكَ فَأَعْلِمْنِي مَا آخُذُ بِهِ فَوَقَّعَ بِخَطِّهِ وَ قَرَأْتُهُ خُذْ بِقَوْلِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 407

Ali ibn Mahziyar said: 'In a letter from Abdullah ibn Muhammad to Abi al-Hasan (peace be upon him), I read: 'May I be your sacrifice,'

'Zurara narrated from Abi Ja'far (Imam Baqir, peace be upon him) and Abi Abdullah (Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him) regarding wine that gets on a person's shirt, they both said there is no problem in praying in it, for indeed only its drinking has been made unlawful!'

'And it is also narrated from (others besides) Zurara that Abi Abdullah (Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him) said: 'If wine or intoxicating nabidh gets on your shirt, if you know its place, wash it, and if you do not know its place, wash the whole thing, and if you have prayed in it, repeat your prayer.''

'So, inform me which one to act upon?'

Then the Imam wrote with his own hand, and I read it: 'Take and act upon the saying of Abi Abdullah (Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him)!' (meaning the necessity of washing the garment from wine and intoxicating substances).

3 يُونُسَ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْداللَّهِ قَال: إِذَا أَصَابَ ثَوْبَكَ خَمْرٌ أَوْ نَبِيذٌ مُسْكِرٌ فَاغْسِلْهُ إِنْ عَرَفْتَ مَوْضِعَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْ مَوْضِعَهُ فَاغْسِلْهُ كُلَّهُ وَ إِنْ صَلَّيْتَ فِيهِ فَأَعِدْ صَلَاتَكَ

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 405

Abu Abdullah (Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him)

said: 'If wine or intoxicating nabidh gets on your shirt, if you know its place, wash it, and if you do not know its place, wash the whole thing, and if you have prayed in it, repeat your prayer (perform your prayer again).'

4 عَنْ خَيْرَانَ الْخَادِمِ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الثَّوْبِ يُصِيبُهُ الْخَمْرُ وَ لَحْمُ الْخِنْزِيرِ أَ يُصَلَّى فِيهِ أَمْ لَا فَإِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا قَدِ اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ صَلِّ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ شُرْبَهَا وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَا تُصَلِّ فِيهِ فَكَتَبَ لَا تُصَلِّ فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 405

Khayran the servant said: 'I wrote to him (meaning Imam Ridha, Imam Jawad, or Imam Hadi, peace be upon them) and asked about a shirt that has been touched by wine or pork. Should one pray in it or not? For indeed our companions have differed on this matter!'

'Some say: 'Pray in it, for Allah has (only) forbidden its drinking!' And some say: 'Do not pray in it.'' He said: 'Do not pray in it, for it is 'rijs' (filth and impure)!'

✅In Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 90, it is stated:

Translation: 'O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, idols, and divining arrows are 'rijs' (filth) from the work of Satan, so avoid them that you may be successful.'

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِّنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

✅ In the above verse, wine is called 'rijs,' which in the lexicon means both inner filth and outward impurity.

And in narration 4, wine is also called 'rijs' and praying in it is forbidden, which indicates and confirms the meaning of impurity.

📚Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 1, p. 278

5 عَنْ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: لَا تُصَلِّ فِي بَيْتٍ فِيهِ خَمْرٌ وَ لَا مُسْكِرٌ لِأَنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا تَدْخُلُهُ وَ لَا تُصَلِّ فِي ثَوْبٍ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ خَمْرٌ أَوْ مُسْكِرٌ حَتَّى يُغْسَلَ

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said:

'Do not pray in a room in which there is wine or an intoxicating substance, for the angels do not enter it, and do not pray in a shirt that has been touched by wine or an intoxicating substance!'

📚Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 1, p. 279

6 عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ آدَمَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَنْ قَطْرَةِ خَمْرٍ أَوْ نَبِيذٍ مُسْكِرٍ قَطَرَتْ فِي قِدْرٍ فِيهِ لَحْمٌ كَثِيرٌ وَ مَرَقٌ كَثِيرٌ قَالَ يُهَرَاقُ الْمَرَقُ أَوْ يُطْعِمُهُ أَهْلَ الذِّمَّةِ أَوِ الْكَلْبَ وَ اللَّحْمَ اغْسِلْهُ وَ كُلْهُ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ قَطَرَ فِيهِ الدَّمُ قَالَ الدَّمُ تَأْكُلُهُ النَّارُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ قُلْتُ فَخَمْرٌ أَوْ نَبِيذٌ قَطَرَ فِي عَجِينٍ أَوْ دَمٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ فَسَدَ قُلْتُ أَبِيعُهُ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وَ النَّصَارَى وَ أُبَيِّنُ لَهُمْ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ شُرْبَهُ قُلْتُ وَ الْفُقَّاعُ هُوَ بِتِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ إِذَا قَطَرَ فِي شَيْ ءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ آكُلَهُ إِذَا قَطَرَ فِي شَيْ ءٍ مِنْ طَعَامِي

Zakariya ibn Adam said: 'I asked Abi al-Hasan (peace be upon him) about a drop of wine or intoxicating nabidh that drips into a pot with a lot of meat and broth.'

He said: 'The broth should be discarded, or it can be given to the people of the covenant (Ahl al-Dhimmah) or to a dog.'

And he said: 'Wash the meat and eat it.'

I said: 'Blood has dripped into it!'

He said: 'If Allah wills, fire will consume the blood!'

I said: 'Wine, or nabidh, or blood that has dripped into dough?'

He said: 'It is spoiled!'

I said: 'Can I sell it to Jews and Christians and make it clear to them?'

He said: 'Yes, they consider its drinking lawful!' (meaning drinking wine).

I said: 'Faqqa' (beer), is it the same? When it drips into something?'

He said: 'I do not like to eat it when it has dripped into something of my food!'

📚Qurb al-Isnad, p. 101

7 عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ النَّضُوحِ يُجْعَلُ فِي النَّبِيذِ أَ يَصْلُحُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَ هُوَ فِي رَأْسِهَا قَالَ لَا حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلَ مِنْهُ.

Ali ibn Ja'far narrated from his brother Imam Kadhim (peace be upon him) that he asked him about a type of perfume in which nabidh (a type of wine) is placed. Is it permissible for a woman to pray while it is on her head?

He said: 'No, until she washes herself from it.'

📚Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 1, p. 241

8 عَنْ كُرْدَوَيْهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْبِئْرِ يَقَعُ فِيهَا قَطْرَةُ دَمٍ أَوْ نَبِيذٍ مُسْكِرٍ أَوْ بَوْلٍ أَوْ خَمْرٍ قَالَ يُنْزَحُ مِنْهَا ثَلَاثُونَ دَلْواً.

Kurdawayh said: 'I asked Abi al-Hasan (peace be upon him) about a well into which a drop of blood, or intoxicating nabidh, or urine, or wine has fallen.'

Zurara said: 'I said to Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him), 'A drop of blood or (a drop of) wine has fallen into a well.'

He said: 'Blood, wine, carrion, and pork have the same ruling in it; twenty buckets of water should be drawn from the well.'

Then he said: 'If its smell is overpowering, water should be drawn (from the well) until it becomes pure!'

📚Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 1, p. 241

10 عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي الْبِئْرِ يَبُولُ فِيهَا الصَّبِيُّ أَوْ يُصَبُّ فِيهَا بَوْلٌ أَوْ خَمْرٌ فَقَالَ يُنْزَحُ الْمَاءُ كُلُّهُ

Muawiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a well into which a child has urinated or into which urine or wine has been poured, that he said: 'All the water of the well must be drawn out!'

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 6

1 1 عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: إِذَا سَقَطَ فِي الْبِئْرِ شَيْ ءٌ صَغِيرٌ فَمَاتَ فِيهَا فَانْزَحْ مِنْهَا دِلَاءً وَ إِنْ وَقَعَ فِيهَا جُنُبٌ فَانْزَحْ مِنْهَا سَبْعَ دِلَاءٍ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ فِيهَا بَعِيرٌ أَوْ صُبَّ فِيهَا خَمْرٌ فَلْتُنْزَحْ.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said:

'When a small thing falls into a well and dies, draw out a few buckets of water from it.'

'And if a person in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) falls into it, draw out seven buckets of water from it, and if a camel dies in it or wine is poured into it, then all its water must be drawn out!'

2 1 عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الدَّنِّ يَكُونُ فِيهِ الْخَمْرُ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ خَلٌّ أَوْ مَاءٌ كَامَخٌ أَوْ زَيْتُونٌ قَالَ إِذَا غُسِلَ فَلَا بَأْسَ وَ عَنِ الْإِبْرِيقِ وَ غَيْرِهِ يَكُونُ فِيهِ خَمْرٌ أَ يَصْلُحُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ مَاءٌ قَالَ إِذَا غُسِلَ فَلَا بَأْسَ وَ قَالَ فِي قَدَحٍ أَوْ إِنَاءٍ يُشْرَبُ فِيهِ الْخَمْرُ قَالَ تَغْسِلُهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ سُئِلَ أَ يُجْزِيهِ أَنْ يَصُبَّ فِيهِ الْمَاءَ قَالَ لَا يُجْزِيهِ حَتَّى يَدْلُكَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَ يَغْسِلَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ.

Ammar ibn Musa said: 'I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a large vat that used to have wine in it. Is it permissible to pour vinegar, or water of 'kamah' (a type of mushroom), or olives into it?'

He said: 'There is no problem if it is washed!'

And he was asked about a jug and other vessels in which wine has been, is it permissible to pour water into it?

He said: 'There is no problem if it is washed!'

And regarding a goblet or a vessel from which wine has been drunk, he said: 'You wash it three times!'

And he was asked: 'Is it sufficient to just pour water into it?'

He said: 'It is not sufficient until you rub it and wash it three times!'

3 1 عَنْ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْداللَّه فِي الْإِنَاءِ يُشْرَبُ فِيهِ النَّبِيذُ فَقَالَ تَغْسِلُهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْكَلْبُ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ وَ لَا تُصَلِّ فِي بَيْتٍ فِيهِ خَمْرٌ وَ لَا مُسْكِرٌ لِأَنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا تَدْخُلُهُ وَ لَا تُصَلِّ فِي ثَوْبٍ أَصَابَهُ خَمْرٌ أَوْ مُسْكِرٌ حَتَّى يُغْسَلَ

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said about a vessel from which nabidh has been drunk:

'You wash it seven times, and likewise a dog...' until he said: 'And do not pray in a house in which there is wine or an intoxicating substance, for the angels do not enter it, and do not pray in a shirt that has been touched by wine or an intoxicating substance until it is washed.'

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 3, p. 406

Abu Jamil al-Basri said: 'I was in Baghdad with Yunus, and I was walking with him in the market. The owner of the beer (faqqa') opened his beer, and it splashed and hit Yunus's shirt!'

'I saw Yunus was sad until noon. I said to him, 'O Aba Muhammad, are you not going to pray?' He said: 'I do not want to pray until I return home and wash this wine from my shirt!''

'I said to him: 'Is this an opinion that you have formed or something that you narrate?''

Then he said: 'Hisham ibn al-Hakam informed me that he asked Abu Abdullah (peace be upon him) about beer, and he said: 'Do not drink it, for it is an unknown wine, so when it gets on your shirt, wash it!''

Ali ibn Yaqtin narrated from Abi al-Hasan al-Madhi (Imam Kadhim, peace be upon him) that he said: 'Allah Almighty did not make wine unlawful because of its name, but He made it unlawful because of its outcome. So whatever has the outcome of wine, is wine!'

📚Al-Tahdhib, Vol. 9, p. 114

6 1 عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ الْغَنَوِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّه فِي رَجُلٍ اشْتَكَى عَيْنَيْهِ فَنُعِتَ لَهُ كُحْلٌ يُعْجَنُ بِالْخَمْرِ فَقَالَ هُوَ خَبِيثٌ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمَيْتَةِ فَإِنْ كَانَ مُضْطَرّاً فَلْيَكْتَحِلْ بِهِ.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said about a person whose eyes hurt and a type of kohl mixed with wine is prescribed for him: 'It is like carrion, evil and filthy, so he should use it as kohl only if he is in a state of necessity!'

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 414

7 1 عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ دَوَاءٍ عُجِنَ بِالْخَمْرِ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ فَكَيْفَ أَتَدَاوَى بِهِ إِنَّهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ شَحْمِ الْخِنْزِيرِ أَوْ لَحْمِ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَ إِنَّ أُنَاساً لَيَتَدَاوَوْنَ بِهِ

Halabi said: 'I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about a medicine that is mixed with wine.' The Imam said: 'No, by Allah! I do not even like to look at it, so how would I treat myself with it?! Indeed, it is like the fat of a pig and the meat of a pig, while a group of people treat themselves with it!'

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 410

8 1 عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَى فِي قَدَحٍ مِنْ مُسْكِرٍ يُصَبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءُ حَتَّى تَذْهَبَ عَادِيَتُهُ وَ يَذْهَبَ سُكْرُهُ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ وَ لَا قَطْرَةٌ تُقَطَرَ منه فِي حُبٍّ إِلَّا أُهَرِيقَ ذَلِكَ الْحُبُّ.

Umar ibn Hanzala said: 'I said to Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): 'What is your opinion about a container of an intoxicating substance on which water is poured (to dilute it) and its effect and intoxicating properties are gone?' He said: 'No, by Allah! Not even a drop of it drips into a large container, except that the water must be discarded!'

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 264

9 1 عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آنِيَةِ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ وَ الْمَجُوسِ فَقَالَ لَا تَأْكُلُوا فِي آنِيَتِهِمْ وَ لَا مِنْ طَعَامِهِمُ الَّذِي يَطْبُخُونَ وَ لَا فِي آنِيَتِهِمُ الَّتِي يَشْرَبُونَ فِيهَا الْخَمْرَ.

Muhammad ibn Muslim said: 'I asked Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) about the vessels of the Ahl al-Dhimmah and the Zoroastrians.' The Imam said: 'Do not eat in their vessels, and do not eat from the food they cook, and do not eat anything in the vessels from which they drink wine!'

📚The book of Durust ibn Abi Mansur, p. 165

20 عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّه جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ آكُلُ مِنْ طَعَامِ الْيَهُودِيِّ وَ النَّصْرَانِيِّ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا تَأْكُلْ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ لَا تَدَعْهُ تَحْرِيماً لَهُ وَ لَكِنْ دَعْهُ تَنَزُّهاً لَهُ وَ تَنَجُّساً لَهُ إِنَّ فِي آنِيَتِهِمُ الْخَمْرَ وَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ

Isma'il ibn Jabir said: 'I said to Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): 'I eat from the food of Jews and Christians!' The Imam said: 'Do not eat!'

Then he said: 'O Isma'il! Do not abandon it because you consider it unlawful, but abandon it out of purification and distance and considering it impure, for indeed in their vessels there is wine and pork!'

📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 423

1 2 عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْداللَّهِ عَنِ الْفُقَّاعِ فَقَالَ لَا تَشْرَبْهُ فَإِنَّهُ خَمْرٌ مَجْهُولٌ فَإِذَا أَصَابَ ثَوْبَكَ فَاغْسِلْهُ

Hisham ibn al-Hakam asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about beer (faqqa'), so he said: 'Do not drink it, for it is an unknown wine, so when it gets on your shirt, wash it!'

2 2 أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي حَدِيثِ النَّبِيذِ قَالَ: مَا يَبُلُّ الْمِيلَ يُنَجِّسُ حُبّاً مِنْ مَاءٍ يَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثاً

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him)

said in a hadith about nabidh:

three times he said: 'An amount that wets a needle makes a large pitcher of water impure!'

📚Qurb al-Isnad, p. 116

3 2 عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الشُّرْبِ فِي الْإِنَاءِ يُشْرَبُ فِيهِ الْخَمْرُ قَدَحِ عِيدَانٍ أَوْ بَاطِيَةٍ قَالَ إِذَا غَسَلَهُ فَلَا بَأْسَ.

Ali ibn Ja'far said: 'I asked Musa ibn Ja'far (peace be upon him) about drinking from a wooden or glass vessel in which wine has been drunk.' The Imam said: 'There is no problem if it is washed.'

✅As is clear in the above narrations and their likes, wine, nabidh, beer (faqqa'), and other types of intoxicating substances are explicitly or implicitly considered impure, and praying in them is forbidden, and there is a command to wash them.

✅In contrast to these narrations, several other narrations have also been reported that state there is no problem with praying in clothes or on a body stained with wine, and in reality, those few narrations appear to contradict these narrations.

✅However, based on the criteria for preference found in the narrations, the following points can be noted:

1️⃣ Allah Almighty in verse 90 of Surah Al-Ma'idah called wine 'rijs,' which, although one of its meanings is inner filth in addition to impurity, due to narration 4 and others that also mention the outward impurity of wine and the prohibition of praying in it because it is 'rijs,' it can be considered that the narrations indicating impurity are in agreement with this verse of the Qur'an.

2️⃣ One of the important narrative criteria for preferring a hadith is to choose narrations that are contrary to the majority (Sunni) view. Given the belief of many Sunnis in the ritual purity of wine and intoxicating substances, and the involvement of the Umayyad caliphs and their courtiers with wine and intoxicating substances, and the fact that the majority consider nabidh and beer (faqqa') to be lawful and allow praying in them, the few narrations that permit praying in clothes and on a body stained with wine and intoxicating substances can be considered to have been said out of dissimulation (taqiyyah). Therefore, the numerous hadiths indicating the impurity of wine and intoxicating substances are actionable.

3️⃣ This contradiction in narrations also existed during the time of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), and this question was also raised by the companions of the Ahl al-Bayt as to which group of narrations is actionable. And we see that, for instance, in narrations 2 and 4, the Ahl al-Bayt themselves have resolved the contradiction for us and have introduced the hadiths indicating the impurity of wine and intoxicating substances and the non-permissibility of praying in them as the ones to act upon.

4️⃣ The criterion of being well-known among the companions for preferring a narration has been explained to us by the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), and it is completely clear that the hadiths indicating the impurity of wine and intoxicating substances have always been more well-known among the Shi'a, and based on this criterion as well, the hadiths indicating the impurity of wine and intoxicating substances are actionable.

5️⃣ Given the principle of caution, which is recommended by the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), there is no doubt that the hadiths indicating the impurity of wine and intoxicating substances are preferred and actionable.

✅ It has been proven today that ethanol alcohol is considered one of the intoxicating beverages, and with the existence of these numerous narrations indicating the impurity of wine and intoxicating substances, mixing it with medicines and perfumes and rubbing or spraying it on prayer clothes, mosques, and the shrines of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) under the pretext of disinfection and others has no basis. And something that in the hadith in 📚Al-Kafi, Vol. 6, p. 414, Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) was not even willing to look at, should not be considered a purifier for a mosque and prayer clothes by his lovers.

✅ We hope that we can forbid all lovers of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) from using intoxicating substances and instead recommend to them the use of pure disinfectants, such as vinegar mixed with water and others.
