*A WONDERFULL ANSWER*
A man came to Iyas Ibn Mu'awiyah, a Muslim judge famous for his wisdom, and the
following conversation took place between them:
Man:What is the Islamic ruling regarding wine?
Judge: It is Haram (Forbidden).
Man: How about water?
Judge: It is Halal (Permissible).
Man:How about dates and grapes?
Judge: They are Halal.
Man:Why is it that all these ingredients are Halal, and yet when you combine
them, they become Haram?
The judge looked at the man and said: If I hit you with this handful of dirt, do
you think it would hurt you?
Man: It would not.
Judge:How about if I hit you with this handful of straw?
Man: It would not hurt me.
Judge:How about a handful of water?
Man:It surely would not hurt me.
Judge: How about if I mix them, and let them dry to become a brick, and then hit
you with it, would it hurt you?
Man:It would hurt me and might even kill me!
Judge:The same reasoning applies to what you asked me!
