Inqilāb (Arabic: انقلاب) in fiqh refers to the transformation of wine into vinegar. Jurists consider transformation among purifiers (means of purification). They say that if wine by itself, by boiling or adding things to it such as vinegar and salt turns into vinegar, it becomes pure according to religious law.

Definition in Fiqh

Inqilab in fiqh is the transformation of wine into vinegar, whether by itself or by boiling or adding things to it such as vinegar and salt.[1].

Difference between Inqilab and Istihala (Metamorphosis)

About the difference between Inqilab and Istihala, there are two different opinions among Shi'a jurists: some of them such as Sayyid Muhammad Kazim al-Yazdi, the author of al-Urwa al-wuthqa believe that they are different from each other. They believe that in Istihala, the nature of a thing changes and it changes into something different in nature; but, in Inqilab, only the appearance of something changes[2].

According to some other scholars such as Sayyid Abu l-Qasim al-Khoei, Inqilab is a type of Istihala, because the nature of wine changes according to the common view[3].

Purity of Inqilab

Jurists consider Inqilab among purifiers (means of purification)[4]. Purifiers (means of purification) refer to the means by which a ritually impure object becomes pure according to religious law[5]. Jurists who consider Inqilab a type of Istihala, discuss about it under the topic of Istihala[6]. Other jurists consider an independent discussion for inqilab in their jurisprudential works[7].

Rules

Some jurisprudential rulings about inqilab according to the books of practical law are as follows:

  • If wine by itself, by boiling or adding things to it such as vinegar and salt turns into vinegar, it becomes pure.
  • A wine made from ritually impure grapes does not become pure by inqilab according to the fatwa of some jurists[8].
