Intoxication is the mixture of reason, al-Jawhari said: "The intoxicated person (sakran) is the opposite of the sober (sahih), and the plural is sakra and sakarai," with both a rounded and open 's' (sin). A woman is referred to as sakran, and the dialect of Banu Asad uses sukraan. Al-Muskir is a noun of the active voice (ism fa'il) from 'askar al-sharab' if it causes its possessor to become intoxicated (sakran) or if there is a force within it that can do that, and this is unanimously considered unlawful (haram).
What has been reported from Qudamah ibn Mu'adhun, Amr ibn Ma'adi Karb, and Ibn Jundal ibn Suhayl stating that it is permissible (halal) is to be regarded as retracted.
