    You are in a desert and kill yourself, Is there any harm to anyone in it?

    You are in desert and instead of asking Allah for help you start asking help from moon, sun and stars; Is there any harm in it?

      That is to do with God and that is separately prohibited:

      Al-Ma’idah – 5:91

      Arabic

      إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ أَن يُوقِعَ بَيۡنَكُمُ ٱلۡعَدَٰوَةَ وَٱلۡبَغۡضَآءَ فِى ٱلۡخَمۡرِ وَٱلۡمَيۡسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَعَنِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِۖ فَهَلۡ أَنتُم مُّنتَهُونَ

      The reason for ‘prohibition’ is given here. So if there is no one around the Quran says فيهما اثم not ‘they are ithm’ in 2:219. So it seems the actual effects of alcohol and drunkenness are being prohibited rather than it itself. Because what is the sin alcohol from 5:91 in the middle of a desert?

    You forgot to mention it hinder rememberrence of Allah.

    Also why you want to drink when Allah has absolutely forbidden it by terming it devil work?

      It is termed the work of the devil yes but it doesn’t clearly say it is haraam

      Also let’s say we drink at night time where there is no salah (obligatory)

      So you want to perform satanic work?

      Equivalent to your question is can we drink amount of alcohol which donot get us drunken?
      Ghamidi sb has responded to this question by saying not even a single drop can be allowed because it may become addiction.

      I wouldn’t do it because it is satanic work. But the question is that is it haraam?

      Moderator March 11, 2021 at 8:17 am

      Are you implying that just saying satanic work doesnt make anything haram, It should be specifically mention it because Allah can allow satanic work?

      To be honest I was just playing devils advocate (hopefully that’s not satanic work😂😂). Yes I think I have exhausted the argument here. Thanks for your response
