Assalaamu alaykum mufti saab
InshaAllah this reaches you in good imaan and health

I have been reading different articles and also the BAHISHTI ZEWAR book which states that Apart from alcohol, it is permissible to consume all other intoxicants on the condition that they are consumed only for medication. Furthermore, only that amount will be permissible which does not intoxicate the person. If a person consumes an amount that intoxicates him, it will become haraam upon him. It is also permissible to apply medicines that contain such intoxicants. Such intoxicants are: opium, nutmeg, saffron, etc

This is from the chapter :Halaal and Haraam,and category:intoxicants

and other sources say that it is haraam completly could u please give me clarification and if possible evidence from quraan and sunnah either way

could u please advise me if the BAHISHTI ZEWAR book is a good source of information for me

jazakAllahum khairun
May Allah swt prolong your life and may He fill it with His blessings,,,ameen

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Can you please provide a reference from Beheshti Zewar, i.e. chapter?
