(Book 42, Hadith 1) #36618
The Consequences of Drinking Wine

SUMMARY: Umar ibn al-Khattab found someone who had been drinking wine and flogged him with the complete hadd.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that as-Sa'ib ibn Yazid informed him that Umar ibn al-Khattab came out to them. He said, "I have found the smell of wine on so-and-so, and he claimed that it was the drink of boiled fruit juice, and I am inquiring about what he has drunk. If it intoxicates, I will flog him". Umar then flogged him with the complete hadd.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ مِنْ فُلاَنٍ رِيحَ شَرَابٍ فَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ شَرَابُ الطِّلاَءِ وَأَنَا سَائِلٌ عَمَّا شَرِبَ فَإِنْ كَانَ يُسْكِرُ جَلَدْتُهُ ‏.‏ فَجَلَدَهُ عُمَرُ الْحَدَّ تَامًّا

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, Umar ibn al-Khattab found someone who was suspected of drinking wine and decided to inquire about it. If it was determined that the person did indeed drink wine, then he would be punished with the complete hadd. This shows us that Islam does not condone any type of intoxication or alcohol consumption and those who do partake in such activities will be punished accordingly. It also teaches us to take responsibility for our actions and accept the consequences if we are caught breaking Islamic laws or teachings.
