Based on the Islamic perspective, and drawing from the provided reference, yes, it is considered haram to have alcohol in your house.
Understanding the Prohibition
In Islam, alcohol is explicitly forbidden. This prohibition extends beyond merely consuming it. The very nature of alcohol is deemed impure and forbidden (haram).
Insights from the Reference
The reference provided directly supports this understanding:
- It explicitly states, "Alcohol is Haram, alcoholic drinks are haram..."
- While noting that consuming alcohol is haram regardless of the place (even in a masjid or church), the core point is that the substance itself is forbidden.
- The reference also advises, "...Don't break it and save your money." This phrase implies avoiding purchasing or dealing with alcohol, further reinforcing the idea that engaging with it in any form, including possession, is not permissible.
Since alcohol is declared Haram and Muslims are advised to avoid dealing with it ("Don't break it and save your money"), keeping it in one's home is considered a form of possession of a forbidden substance, which is not permissible in Islam.
