Sins of the Stomach




Among the sins of the stomach are:
  1. To consume from usurious gain [riba]
  2. To consume from taxes on trade [maks]
  3. To consume from others taken from them by force
  4. To consume from stealing (and stolen property)
  5. To consume anything taken through a transaction considered unlawful by the Islamic law
  6. 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]
  7. To consume whatever is intoxicating, filthy [najas], or revolting
  8. To consume the property of the orphan
  9. To consume the property of the endowments [Awqaf] in a way contrary to the condition set by the one who established it
  10. To consume what was not given out of one’s good will, but out of shyness
And Allah and His Messenger know best!
