The Prohibition of Alcohol and its Punishments

SUMMARY: Drinking alcohol is prohibited and should be punished, with the fourth offense being punishable by death.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that : The Messenger of Allah SAW said: "If he becomes drunk, whip him; then if he becomes drunk, whip him; then if he becomes drunk, whip him". Then he said concerning the fourth time, "Strike his neck (ie, kill him)".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ خَالِهِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا سَكِرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ ثُمَّ إِنْ سَكِرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ ثُمَّ إِنْ سَكِرَ فَاجْلِدُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ ‏"‏ فَاضْرِبُوا عُنُقَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Abu Hurairah discusses the prohibition of alcohol in Islam and the punishments for those who consume it. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said that if someone drinks alcohol they should be whipped three times. If they drink again after that then their neck should be struck, meaning they should be killed. This hadith shows how serious Islam takes the consumption of alcohol as it is a major sin in Islam and can lead to other sins such as fighting or adultery. It also serves as a warning to those who are tempted to drink that there are severe consequences for doing so. It teaches us that we must stay away from anything which could lead us astray from our faith and cause us harm in this life or the next.
