Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
They ask you the decree regarding wine (intoxicants) and
gambling; say (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings
be upon him), "In both is great sin, and some worldly benefit
for men - but their sin is greater than their benefit"; and
they ask you what they should spend; say, "That which remains
spare (surplus)"; this is how Allah explains His verses to
you, so that you may think.
