  • No one can avoid such small quantities of alcohol.

  • @UmH did you even think about if what maham tells is really a sin? I don't think it is (based on 5|91, sorry I don't know how to reference Quranic verses, so I do it the way in the text), and I feel you did not consider if she even sinned or not.

What I have found in the English translations of the written Quran is:

5|91|Shaitan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from As-Salat (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?

And what I read from it is that you should avoid intoxication, and you were far from that.

And as a second thought, maybe Shaitan has switched tactics and makes you intoxicated by fear?

  • This is from the Hilali translation. Other translations do not word it as "alcohol" but as "wine", but all I have seen take it as intoxicant. So I believe it does not refer to the chemical called ethanol but to everything that intoxicates humans.

  • I was not intoxicated didn't even touch the utensils or the food I just let them have sip of my hot chocolate but that means I might have accidentally consumed through the sharing of food alcohol. Will my prayers and will be accepted

  • @mahamzafar Quite obviously you could not get drunk by such a small amount of alcohol and according to the sura I cited, this is the main point for avoiding alcohol. You did not sin and have no reason to repent. May Allah guide you not to sin in other ways.
