A
Great Conversation
A
man came to Iyas Ibn Mu'awiyah, a Muslim judge famous for his wisdom, and the
following conversation took place between them:
Man: What
is the Islamic ruling regarding wine?
Judge:
It is Haram (Forbidden).
Man: How
about water?
Judge:
It
is Halal (Permissible).
Man: How
about dates and grapes?
Judge:
They
are Halal.
Man: Why
is it that all these ingredients are Halal, and yet when you combine them, they
become Haram?
The
judge looked at the man and said:
If I hit you with this handful of dirt, do you
think it would hurt you?
Man: It
would not.
Judge:
How about if I hit you with this handful of
straw?
Man: It
would not hurt me.
Judge:
How about a handful of water?
Man: It
surely would not hurt me.
Judge:
How
about if I mix them, and let them dry to become a brick, and then hit you with
it, would it hurt you?
Man: It
would hurt me and might even kill me!
Judge:
The same reasoning applies to what you asked me!!
