in addition to that, we believe that those scholars who expressed this opinion are rewarded for their error, due to the well-known ḥadīth, because they intended to reach the truth but missed it. As for those followers who encountered these ḥadīths that we mentioned and then insisted on blindly following their scholars in their error, turning away from following the mentioned ḥadīths, they are undoubtedly in clear misguidance. They fall under the warning of these ḥadīths that we have cited, and it does not benefit them at all to call what they drink by other names such as "ṭilāʾ," "nabīdh," or "whisky" or "cognac," and other names that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) referred to in these noble ḥadīths. Allāh, the Almighty, has spoken the truth when He says: "They are but names which you have named, you and your fathers, for which Allāh has sent down no authority" (Sūrah al-Najm, 53:23). Secondly: The prohibition of musical instruments and entertainment, and the indication of the ḥadīth on this from several aspects: A - His saying: "they will consider lawful," which explicitly indicates that the mentioned items, including musical instruments, are prohibited in the sharīʿah, and those people will consider them lawful. B - The pairing of (musical instruments) with what is definitively prohibited: adultery and wine, and if they were not prohibited, they would not be paired with them, by the will of Allāh, the Exalted. Many ḥadīths have come, some of which are authentic, prohibiting types of musical instruments that were known at that time, such as the drum and the qinīn, which is the lute, and others, and nothing contrary has been reported
