Hadith on Intoxicants: Every intoxicant is forbidden no matter how it is made

Abu Musa reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sent myself and Mu’adh ibn Jabal to Yemen. I said, “O Messenger of Allah, there is a wine in our land prepared from barley known as beer and another wine prepared from honey known as mead.” The Prophet said, “Every intoxicant is unlawful.”

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ بَعَثَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَا وَمُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ شَرَابًا يُصْنَعُ بِأَرْضِنَا يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمِزْرُ مِنْ الشَّعِيرِ وَشَرَابٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْبِتْعُ مِنْ الْعَسَلِ فَقَالَ كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ
