If their religion does not permit it, then so be it. We must not impose our culture on other people.

Government should just ensure FIRS segment taxes on alcohol separately and get them distributed only to states that permits consumption of such products.

Simple!

Richtaiwo:
Not really. Reasonable number of Northern muslims don't take alcohol. Though few, very few of them secretly do.

Yampotatocarrot:
I really don't understand the breaking of beer bottles part... Is it a state law forbidding the sales of alcoholic drink? Does that mean EVERY BODY in the state is a Muslim?

If it's your religion, then leave those that are not your religious members to drink what they want to drink na... That you don't eat meat does not mean you destroy all abattoirs

On the other hand, if it's a state rule forbidding the sales of alcohol in the state, then, as much as the state erred in creating such rules, until a higher court abolishes the rule, those destroying the alcoholic drinks are right, because they are backed by law

I think the Hisbah should confiscate and fine the culprits heavily.

To destroy such huge number of bottles itself costs a lot of money so this argument is weak since they are equally expending resources to destroy the bottles.

Have you ever heard about separation of state from religion? 🤷‍♂️
This nonsense of "respecting" religious beliefs.

Let's be clear: if someone's religion prohibits them from consuming alcohol, that's their personal choice. But to say that the government should segregate tax distribution based on religious permissions is an overreach. Why would you want to impose religious doctrine on secular institutions?

So will you also demand that the government withhold taxes from states that permit gambling, given that some religions frown upon it? Or maybe should restrict access to certain medical procedures based on religious objections? Think!

If some individuals choose to abstain from alcohol due to personal beliefs, so be it. But to impose on everyone makes no sense.
Is this a Nigeria thing? Read it's a secular country.

Islam has brought a lot of backwardness to northern Nigeria, more reason the region is underdeveloped.

TONYE001:
The idea is, they have gone beyond not drinking alcohol to destroying alcoholic beverages significantly jeopardizing the trade of alcohol. This action disqualifies them from partaking of the proceeds of any form of alcohol business.

But, if they are very serious about their religious stand, they should have written the government years ago requesting that they shouldn't be sent VAT from alcohol...this wouldn't have been the case if they had stopped at refusing to drink alcohol because of their religion. But no, these guys have been DESTROYING alcoholic beverages for years and this act of theirs has cost society billions of naira!

See the difference?

That's actually neat.
Next is to ask them to stop burning and wasting weed they seized. Share it for free among the citizens. We need it

What Hisbah police did is very very wrong.
Since they don't want beer in their states, beer manufacturer should stop taking it there simple
