The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the mixing of ripe and unripe dates and also the mixing of dates and raisins (for
preparing a syrup) but the syrup of each kind of fruit should be prepared separately. ( One may have
such drinks as long as it is fresh )

Abu Usaid As Sa`idi invited the Prophet (ﷺ) to his wedding banquet. At that time his wife was serving
them and she was the bride. She said, ”Do you know what (kind of syrup) I soaked (made) for Allah’s
Apostle? I soaked some dates in water in a Tur (bowl) overnight. ‘

I asked Ibn `Abbas about Al-Badhaq. He said, “Muhammad prohibited alcoholic drinks before It was

(unclean Al-Khabith).

I asked Al-Aswad, “Did you ask `Aisha, Mother of the Believers, about the containers in which it is
disliked to prepare (non-alcoholic) drinks?” He said, “Yes, I said to her, ‘O Mother of the Believers!
What containers did the Prophet (ﷺ) forbid to use for preparing (non-alcoholic) drinks?” She said, ‘The
Prophet forbade us, (his family), to prepare (nonalcoholic) drinks in Ad-Dubba and Al-Muzaffat.’ I
asked, ‘Didn’t you mention Al Jar and Al Hantam?’ She said, ‘I tell what I have heard; shall I tell you
what I have not heard?’ ”

Abu Usaid As-Sa`idi came and invited Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) on the occasion of his wedding. His wife who
