Question
A Shaikh gave the following fatwa regarding Bacardi Breezer (liquor/rum)? "If a person drinks 3 or 4 bottles of it and it intoxicates him, in this case even drinking one drop is prohibited. But if the drink doesn't intoxicate an individual even if he drinks 3 or 4 bottles, in this case, it is permissible for him to drink it." Barcardi Breezer is a rum which can be made into a cocktail. It has 4.4% alcohol content. Also, it is served in pubs and nightclubs. So how can a shaikh give a fatwa saying OK to drink it when is is well-known to intoxicate. Even kuffaar acknowledge that it is alcohol? Please comment.
Answer
The 'shaikh' who halaalizes liquor (Bacardi Breezer) is an agent of Iblees. His argument is satanic rubbish. He is a sign of Qiyaamah, for Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that in times in proximity with Qiyaamah, Muslims will halaalizes liquor calling it by different names.
