Can Muslims Drink Coffee ?
Can Muslims Drink Coffee ?
I once read the writing that coffee was khamr. Is that right? Then what is the law of coffee?
Answer:
Bismillah was shalatu was greeting ‘ala Rasulillah, wa ba’du,
Perhaps the writing concludes in terms of language meaning.
In Arabic, coffee is called qahwah [قهوة]. And the word qahwah means language khamr. Hasan Said al-Karmi - a Palestinian linguist, in his book ‘Qoul ala Qoul’ said,
كلمة "قهوة" معناها في الأصل "الخمر" ، ويتّضح ذلك من مراجعة الكلمة في جميع القواميس
"The word qahwah in language means khamr. We can see this clearly, when referring to this word in all dictionaries. "(Qoul ala Qoul, 3/117).
Then al-Karmi mentions several verses of Arabic poetry that imply that meaning.
Why is Khamr called Qahwah?
Qahwah comes from the word aqhaa - yuqhii which means making full. Can also be interpreted, making dislike and avoiding food.
Al-Bairuni said,
قال الأزهري (ت 370 هـ) في "تهذيب اللغة": القهوة: الخمر ؛ سُمِّيتْ قهوةً ، لأنها تُقهِي الإنسانَ: أي تُشْبِعُه. وقال غيره: سُمِّيتْ قهوة ؛ لأنّ شاربَها يُقْهِي عن الطعام: أي يكرهه ويأجَمُه
Al-Azhari (d. 370 H) in the book Tahdib al-Lughah said, 'al-Qahwah' is khamr. It is called 'qahwah' because it makes human iqha, meaning to make people full. some say, it's called qahwah, because people who drink it yuqhi ‘an at-Tha’am, meaning hate food and feel bored of it.
This answer does not mean to punish that coffee is forbidden especially calling it unclean. Some scholars defend their halal coffee, even Dr. Bakr Abu Zaid has a special article to affirm his halal coffee, entitled ‘Itsarah an-Nakhwah bi Hilli al-Qahwah. '
So, Allahu 'alam ...
