This is because certain groups [claiming to be] of Islam speak of drinking it, considering it permissible (mustahall). This is contrary to the Outward Law and its legislation, as well as the Inward Law and its legislation, due to the saying of the Almighty:

{Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities—what is apparent of them and what is concealed—and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allah that which you do not know"} (Al-A'raf: 33).
