Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Baqarah 2:219

Word by word

۞ يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلْمَيْسِرِ ۖ قُلْ فِيهِمَآ إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ وَمَنَـٰفِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَإِثْمُهُمَآ أَكْبَرُ مِن نَّفْعِهِمَا ۗ وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ مَاذَا يُنفِقُونَ قُلِ ٱلْعَفْوَ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ

They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit." And they ask you what they should spend. Say, "The excess [beyond needs]." Thus Allāh makes clear to you the verses [of revelation] that you might give thought

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

يسألك المسلمون -أيها النبي- عن حكم تعاطي الخمر شربًا وبيعًا وشراءً، والخمر كل مسكر خامر العقل وغطاه مشروبًا كان أو مأكولا ويسألونك عن حكم القمار -وهو أَخْذُ المال أو إعطاؤه بالمقامرة وهي المغالبات التي فيها عوض من الطرفين-، قل لهم: في ذلك أضرار ومفاسد كثيرة في الدين والدنيا، والعقول والأموال، وفيهما منافع للناس من جهة كسب الأموال وغيرها، وإثمهما أكبر من نفعهما; إذ يصدَّان عن ذكر الله وعن الصلاة، ويوقعان العداوة والبغضاء بين الناس، ويتلفان المال. وكان هذا تمهيدًا لتحريمهما. ويسألونك عن القَدْر الذي ينفقونه من أموالهم تبرعًا وصدقة، قل لهم: أنفقوا القَدْر الذي يزيد على حاجتكم. مثل ذلك البيان الواضح يبيِّن الله لكم الآيات وأحكام الشريعة; لكي تتفكروا فيما ينفعكم في الدنيا والآخرة.
