Question
Many people say that hasheesh is permissible. They cite a Hadith in which it is mentioned that Hadhrat Aishah (Radhiyallahu anha) had given some people hasheesh. Is this narration authentic?
Answer
The "many people" are stupid. The term 'hasheeshah' in the Hadith cited by you refers to a food. This food is made of crushed wheat, dates and meat.
