Asking for Islamic Guidance on Substance Use for a Brother

Salaam everyone, I'm looking for advice to share with my Muslim friend who's thinking about trying psychedelic substances, like 'magic mushrooms,' which change how your mind works. He follows the Hanafi school of thought. Can you suggest authentic Islamic resources or reminders to help him understand why this might not be aligned with our faith, focusing on avoiding mind-altering substances and seeking lawful alternatives? JazakAllah khair for any support!

He needs to understand the 'why' – it's about preserving your 'aql (intellect), a trust from Allah. Once he gets that, the ruling makes total sense.

Bro, just show him Surah Al-Ma'idah verse 90. Intoxicants are clearly called the work of Satan. It's not complicated.

Agreed with others. For Hanafi resources, check reliable scholars' fatawa online. Seeking lawful alternatives is key-maybe more Quran, nature, or deep talks.

This is a major sin. The hadith is clear: every intoxicant is forbidden. Tell your friend to fear Allah and stay away.

Straight up haram. No need for a deep debate. Pray for him to find strength.

Yeah, altering your mind is haram. Might seem 'spiritual' but it's a trick. Remind him real peace is in Salah and dhikr.
