Buraida reported God’s messenger as saying, “I have forbidden you receptacles, for while a receptacle does not make anything lawful or unlawful, every intoxicant is unlawful.” In a version he said, “I have forbidden you drinks except from skin vessels, but now you may drink from any kind of vessel, but do not drink an intoxicant.”
Ibn ‘Umar said God’s messenger forbade the use of pumpkins, green jars, vessels smeared with pitch and hollow stumps, giving command that dates should be steeped in skins.
