Once a man came to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) and said, "I am from Khurasan, our region is a cold area," and he mentioned vessels for wine. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "Completely avoid intoxicating things, such as wine made from raisins or dates, etc." He asked, "What is your opinion about the nabidh (fermented drink) of a clay pot?" He replied, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also forbade that."
