Sins of the Stomach
Among the sins of the stomach are:
- To consume from usurious gain [riba]
- To consume from taxes on trade [maks]
- To consume from others taken from them by force
- To consume from stealing (and stolen property)
- To consume anything taken through a transaction considered unlawful by the Islamic law
- To consume alcohol. The punishment for the drinker who is free is forty lashes and the slave receives one-half of the punishment. The caliph may add to that as a disciplinary action [ta'zir]
- To consume whatever is intoxicating, filthy [najas], or revolting
- To consume the property of the orphan
- To consume the property of the endowments [Awqaf] in a way contrary to the condition set by the one who established it
- To consume what was not given out of one’s good will, but out of shyness
And Allah and His Messenger know best!
