(Book 42, Hadith 2) #36619
Punishment for Drinking Wine

SUMMARY: Drinking wine is a punishable offense and should be punished with eighty lashes.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Thawr ibn Zayd ad-Dili that Umar ibn al-Khattab asked advice about a man drinking wine. Ali ibn Abi Talib said to him, "We think that you flog him for it with eighty lashes. Because when he drinks, he becomes intoxicated, and when he becomes intoxicated, he talks confusedly, and when he talks confusedly, he lies". (80 lashes is the same amount as for slandering) Umar gave eighty lashes for drinking wine.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الدِّيلِيِّ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، اسْتَشَارَ فِي الْخَمْرِ يَشْرَبُهَا الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ نَرَى أَنْ تَجْلِدَهُ ثَمَانِينَ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا شَرِبَ سَكِرَ وَإِذَا سَكِرَ هَذَى وَإِذَا هَذَى افْتَرَى ‏.‏ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ فَجَلَدَ عُمَرُ فِي الْخَمْرِ ثَمَانِينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the punishment for drinking alcohol which is eighty lashes according to Ali ibn Abi Talib. The hadith explains that when someone drinks alcohol they become intoxicated and when they are intoxicated they talk confusedly and lie. Therefore, it is important to punish those who drink alcohol as it can lead them into telling lies which is also punishable by eighty lashes according to Islamic law. This hadith teaches us the importance of avoiding intoxicants as it can lead us into doing things we would not normally do such as lying or other sinful acts. It also teaches us the importance of following Islamic laws even if we do not understand why something has been prohibited or made unlawful in Islam because Allah knows best what is good for us and what will bring benefit in this life and the hereafter.
