It is narrated from Hazrat Dailami (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this issue: "We live in a cold region, and to ward off the severity of the cold, we use a drink made from wheat." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Does drinking it cause intoxication?" We replied in the affirmative. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking it. This question and answer occurred three times. The fourth time, he said, "People will not refrain from drinking it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If they do not refrain, then kill them."
