Naqe'e Al Zabib
Naqe'e Al Zabib ( – ''raisin infusion'') is a Yemeni raisin beverage. Naqe'e Al Zabib is served fresh, and as the name implies (''zabīb'' means "raisins") it is made of grapes. It is similar to nabidh, an infusion that is made mildly alcoholic from the fermentation of sugars and was consumed widely in the pre-Islamic age. As alcohol (''khamr'') is considered haram in Islam, both ''nabidh'' and ''naqe'e al zabib'' are fermented for a certain time before it is converted to alcohol. Raisins have high levels of vitamin C and other anti-oxidants, are important sources of phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and copper, and help to prevent tooth decay. To prepare the infusion the raisins are thoroughly washed, covered in hot water, and then left to soak for three hours before being pressed through a sieve to extract the juice. Other recipes recommend boiling the raisins and/or soaking the raisins in the refrigerator overnight before squeezing out the juice. Sometimes the ra ...

Nabidh
Nabīth (Arabic: ) is a traditional fermented drink from the Arabian Peninsula typically made from dates steeped in water, although it can also be made with dried grapes (raisins). Nabidh is usually non-intoxicating, but if left for a certain period of time, it can turn mildly intoxicating, or heavily intoxicating depending on the level of fermentation. Nabidh is known to increase alcoholic content to intoxication levels, depending on the surrounding conditions. As alcohol is considered haram by many modern Muslims, Nabidh is only fermented for a certain amount of time before it becomes alcohol. According to the hadith collection by Imam Malik Ibn Anas, it is forbidden to "prepare nabidh in a gourd or in a jug smeared with pitch." History Rufus of Ephesus (fl. 100 AD) wrote a tract on the beverage nabīdh, which Qusta ibn Luqa in his times translated into Arabic by the name ''Risālah fī al-Nabīdh''. In 2007, after collecting and collating copies of this manuscript from di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Khamr
Khamr () is an Arabic word for wine or intoxicant. It is variously defined as alcoholic beverages, wine or liquor. In fiqh, it refers to certain forbidden substances, and its technical definition depends on the madhhab or legal school. Most jurists, including those from the Maliki, Shafiʽi, Hanbali and Ahl-i Hadith legal schools, have traditionally viewed it as general term for any intoxicating beverage made from grapes, dates, and similar substances. Hanafi jurists restricted the term to a narrower range of beverages. Over time, some jurists classified other intoxicants, such as opium and khat, as ''khamr'', based on a hadith attributed to Muhammad stating, "The Holy Prophet said: 'every intoxicant is khamr, and every intoxicant is forbidden.'" Other traditions attributed to Muhammad, however, indicated that khamr may be made from two plants, the grapevine and the date palm. There are some faqīhs, particularly of the Hanafi school, who take the concept of khamr literall ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
