Rabbi:
What is the Islamic ruling regarding wine?
Mullah:
It is Haram (Forbidden).
Rabbi:
How about water?
Mullah:
That's Halal (Permissible).
Rabbi:
How about grapes?
Mullah:
That's 100 per cent Halal.
Rabbi:
Then why is it that these ingredients are Halal, and
yet when you
combine them, it
becomes Haram?
Mullah:
If I hit you with this handful of dirt, do you think
it would hurt
you?
Rabbi:
Nope.
Mullah:
How about if I hit you with this handful of straw?
Rabbi:
No way!
Mullah:
How about a handful of water?
Rabbi:
I don't think so.
Mullah:
How about if I mix them, and let them dry to become a
brick, and
then hit you with
it, would it hurt you?
Rabbi:
Hurt me? you might even kill me!
Mullah:
The same reasoning applies to what you asked me! |
