Khamr is an Arabic word for wine;. In Islamic jurisprudence, it refers to certain forbidden substances, and its technical definition depends on the legal school.

Hanafi jurists restricted the term to a narrower range of beverages. Over time, some jurists classified other intoxicants, such as opium and qat, as khamr, based on a hadith stating:
The Holy Prophet said: every intoxicant is khamr, and every khamr is forbidden.
