1263. Abū Al-Waddāk narrated that Abū Sa'eed said: "We had some wine that belonged to an orphan. When Al-Mā'idah was revealed I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about it, I said: 'It belongs to an orphan.' He said: 'Spill it out.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[He said:] There is something on this topic from Anas bin Mālik.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Ḥadīth of
Abū Sa'eed is a Hasan [Ṣaḥīḥ] Hadīth. Similar to this has been reported through other routes from the Prophet ﷺ. Some of the people of knowledge stated according to this, they dislike the usage of wine for making vinegar. And the only thing that they disliked about it, and Allāh knows best, is for a Muslim to have wine in his house until it becomes vinegar. Some of them permitted wine vinegar when it is found that it has become vinegar. [Abū Al-Waddāk's name is Jabr bin Nawf].

Commentary
Most of the people of knowledge do not approve of making vinegar from wine; they argue that if it had been acceptable why would the Prophet ﷺ order him to spill it out. This point is correct and most of the people act according to this. According to Imām Abū Ḥanīfah and Imām Awzā'ī it is approved to make vinegar from wine. (For details see Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim.)
