Definition Askrh

Askrh according to Al-Qamus al-Fiqhi

Askarah the drink: to remove the drinker's reason. Sakkarah: to carry intoxication to the extreme. One says: sakara basarahu: his sight became dim, or was closed, or he became confused and staring. In the Noble Quran: 'And even if We opened upon them a gate of the heaven and they ascended therein endlessly, they would say: our eyes have been intoxicated (sukkirat), rather we are a people bewitched' (Al-Hijr, 14-15). As-sakr: blocking, closure. As-sukr: the loss of reason and its confusion under the effect of the intoxicating drink; it may also befall a person from anger, passionate love, strength or victory. According to the Hanafis: a jubilation that removes the reason, so that one no longer distinguishes the earth from the sky; this view bears on the intoxication that entails the penalty (the hadd); or: a derangement of the mind that leads to delirium in speech. According to the Shafi'is, Hanbalis, Zahiris and Zaydis: like the second view of the Hanafis. As-sikr: that with which a river or the like is blocked (plural: sukur); everything that stops up a fissure or a borehole. As-sakar: everything that intoxicates, khamr or otherwise. In the noble hadith: 'I have forbidden khamr for its intoxicating nature, and every drink that intoxicates.' Date nabidh. According to the Hanafis: the juice of fresh dates when it boils, thickens and casts off the foam; or the juice of fresh dates when it thickens. According to the Shafi'is: like the second view of the Hanafis. In the view of al-Sha'bi: the infusion of raisins before it thickens. As-sakran: the opposite of sober (plural: sikra, sikara, sikara; the feminine forms: sikra and sikranah). According to the Hanafis: one who no longer distinguishes man from woman nor the sky from the earth; or: one whose speech becomes confused: it is concerning him that the fatwa is given. According to the Shafi'is, Hanbalis, Zahiris and Zaydis: like the second view of the Hanafis. Al-muskin: agent noun of askara: a drink is muskir if it intoxicates the one who drinks it, or if it contains a strength that does so. According to the Zahiris: every drink whose excess intoxicates any of the people: such a drink is then a forbidden muskir, whether the one who drinks it becomes intoxicated or not, cooked or not, whether cooking removes most of it or not.
