but samak only for removing najis.

alcohol is not najis, it kills germs. used in eletronics cleaner, listerine, and medical cleansing tools, which in turn used on humans. How la need to samak

But why need to go under imam?

why not just under Allah or Muhammad? 

this is like once a catholic, cannot go into protestant or other denomination.

JAKIM = HARAM !!! true story dude !!!

JAKIM pun nowadays being politicized....

ytday i went club. y i see somany muslim arH?

if we consume food which is marinated with wine, is it haram? Because as far as i know the alcohol contain vaporized when u cook d food and by the time u eat it, it's not intoxicated at all..

Yes it can

alcohol evaporates very quickly when expose to air. More so when you cook it

what is remained would be the residue of the wine, which is from grape extract and flavour.

learn science, not religion. helps save your life too, someday

when the alcohol is already evaporated, how can you have any traces of alcohol left behind? and if so, how can there be any chemical equation left?   

confirm you are a mangkuk

you're thinking that ethanol would combine with the beef to become beefanol izzit?
AHHAHAHAHHAHAHA

study science la, mangkuk. religion will kill you you one day

duh.if there is a reaction between the spices and alcohol,the end result will no longer considered as alcohol anymore.

Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda yang bermaksud : “Tinggalkan apa yang membimbangkan kamu kepada apa yang tidak membimbangkan kamu”. Hadis Hasan soheh yang bermaksud : “Tinggalkan perkara yang engkau ragu dan ambillah perkara yang engkau tidak ragu”. (Riwayat At-Tarmizi)

Guys, can any muslim pls explain in simple words. Im not islam, and i dont claim to know everything. So, my questions are:

1. Coming in contact with alcohol itself is haram? Or it becomes haram is you use it to intoxicate yourself?
I was under the impression its only haram if it intoxicates a muslim.

2. Perfume containing alcohol is Haram? If so, muslims cannot use them & they have to cleam themself 7 times. Right?

3. Why tapai is not haram? Drinking tapai water is also not haram. I have seen ppl eat tapai and having their face all flushed (muka jadi merah....) and claim feely dizzy. (But I would guess the content is definitely more than 0.01% as the alcohol taste is there. I have tasted both Malt drink which is declared more than 0.05% and tapai). From a layman's view like me who knows very little about Islamic rules, i would say tapai is definitely haram. Please explain.

4. Most medicine (cough mixtures etc) contains certain amount of alcohol. If coming in contact itself is not acceptable, this one also cannot accept right?

Guys, please don ask impossible situation questions like "You are in a desert with festering wound - which one will use to clean your wound - unclean water or alcohol). These questions dont help us to understand anything.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks! So, i guess earlier posts are kinda true - JAKIM and Islam religion are being politicized.

Barbican or other malt drinks dont cause people to be intoxicated. Hence the current advice on avoidance on these drinks are unfounded right?

If thats the case, drinking a glass of beer or less is ok? Provided it does not make you drunk?

100% alcohol is unsafe for consumption, mangkuk. that sort of alcohol is only for industrial use.
Wine is somewhere around 10% to 20%. Most use for taste. Once cook it evaporates. And you can NEVER get intoxicated from it.
Same with ciggaretes, cough mixture, soy sauce. In large amount, anythign can be toxic.   

Even water! over drinking will kill you. so yea, H2O is haram now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication or overhydration

anything in large amount will kill. 
Its all in chemistry books, mangkuk.

Like i say before, go study science, not your religion. You're getting stupider by your replies here. Basic alcohol reaction to heat = taktau. Wanna act smart?
Somemore ask for documentation? hahahaha

If you can consume LARGE amount if food cooked in wine, then go ahead. Till then, there have yet to be anyone getting intoxicated with food marinated/cooked in alcohol.
Unless of course, you pour the whole bottle in    But thats not food anymore
You sure? Why no Syariah enforcement?
Wine too is to prevent cancer. Red wine is rich in antioxidants. So you're saying it one drinks wine not to get high, then its ok?
So its OK to kill yourself but not ok to get high?

Thats a champion. 

Doubt leads to IGNORANCE.

Thats why simple science you also wont know. coz its the easiest way out for you, to simply IGNORE because you're in doubt.
Then how come syariah enforcements on maksiat and pubs?

So now which rules Syariah. Allah rules, or politics rules.
Wine is cheap la mangkuk.
For RM30 to Rm50 you can get good red wine with rich antioxidants. Expensive ones are those for taste and duration of fermenting only. If its for health/medicinal purpose, dont need so expensive. In fact Yomeshu and DOM is well worth its money.
Sure.

Drowning while swimming also can get killed by H2O.
over consumption too.
But since u didnt see anyone killing themselves using H2O, i suppose youalso havent seen anyone intoxicating themselves with wine-marinated-beef ya 

then apa beza alcohol dan arak?   

Dont you think you will gain more in knowledge if you decide not to blindly ignore things?

Undi untuk ubahhhh!

Coffee is unhealthy la. Caffine. help you get more cancer, diabetes too.
same with wine and beer.

Drink coz its just a beverage (ie coke) and to get some alcohol to boost blood circulation and helps in health.

See, told you go study science, and not to give this crap

alcohol = ethanol, methanol, etc.

arak = distilled alcohol. or liquor. Higher concentration of alcohol compared to beer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arak_%28drink%29 - nah...muslims also drink Arak. 

aih u guys, never argue with H4E la...

u sure butthurt in the end

aiya, why depend on others? sendiri also must cari ilmu.

Thats why BN keep winning majority. If support pembangkang even stupid also, BN would have to double up their effort and do more good deeds. Thats the point 
Otherwise BN will think they are doing good job. lagi teruk

Got so many la.

But thats not the point. Point is, beer/wine is just like H2O, knife, gun etc. Its in your hands. Jsut because you can abuse it dont make it haram/non-halal. Is your otak and hati not halal only. Not the product/tool. Humans like to blame everything but themselves.

Sendiri tersepak kerusi, marah je kerusi seolah olah ia boleh bergerak dan tendang kaki kita.

everything is chemical la. basic building block is carbon.

everything also can cause intoxication la. Even oxygen also if one breathes in too much (especially pure O2)

Arab majority muslim la. church also very hard to setup without kena kacau la. how ppl dare minum Arak. scary la.
