The Ruling on Sin for Drinking Alcohol by Mistake

If a person drank from a bottle thinking it contained water (as it was normally used for water), but it actually contained alcohol, and he consumed it unintentionally due to this mistake, then as soon as he realized it was alcohol he spat it out, and whatever had gone down his throat he vomited out — what will be the ruling in this case?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

If the incident described is genuine, then in such a situation the person will not be sinful due to having consumed alcohol unknowingly. However, it is necessary for him to exercise great caution in this matter in the future.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

کما قال اللہ تعالیٰ: قال الله تبارك وتعالى: ﴿يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْأَنْصَابُ وَالْأَزْلَامُ رِجْسٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ﴾ (المائدة: 90)
وفی سنن ابن ماجۃ :عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:" إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَضَعَ عَنْ أُمَّتِي الْخَطَأَ، وَالنِّسْيَانَ، وَمَا اسْتُكْرِهُوا عَلَيْهِ".(حدیث نمبر:2045)
و في مشكاة المصابيح؛ وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «إن العبد إذا اعترف ثم تاب تاب الله عليه» (ج:2، ص:721)
وفيه ايضاً: وعن أنس قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «كل بني آدم خطاء وخير الخطائين التوابون» . رواه الترمذي وابن ماجه والدارمي اھ (ج:2،ص:724)
