Intoxication and Penalty who Consume Intoxication What is considered as Intoxication? The definition of intoxication is to show/feel signs of drunkenness/excitement or euphoria being generated due to an intake of a substance (i.e., liquid, solid or fume), all these substances are forbidden in Islam, even in small amounts or as a medicine. Below is some Ahadith of Masomeen asws on this topic. The Classification of Intoxicants: م ح م د ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ع ن ع ل ي ب ن ال ح ك م ع ن م ع او ي ة ب ن و ه ب ق ال ق ل ت ل ب ي ع ب د لل ن ج ا ل م ن ب ن ي ع م ي و ه و ج ل م ن ص ل ح اء م و ال يك أ م ن ي أ ن أ س أ ل ك ع ن الن ب يذ ف أ ص ف ه ل ك ف ق ال ل ه أ ن ا أ ص ف ه ل ك ق ال س و ل لل ص ك ل م س ك ح ام ف م ا أ س ك ك ث ي ه ف ق ل يل ه ح ام ق ال ق ل ت ف ق ل يل ال ح ام ي ح ل ه ك ث ي ال م اء ف د ع ل ي ه ب ك ف ه م ت ي ن ل ل Mohammed ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-hakam from Mu awiyah ibn Wahab who has said the following: I once said to Abu Abd Allah asws that a noble man among your followers has asked me to ask you about al-nabidh (wine) so I can describe it for him from you asws. The Imam asws said, I will describe it for you as the Messenger of Allah saww has said, Every drunkenness producing liquor is unlawful and whatever produces drunkenness in a large quantity its intake in a small amount is also forbidden. I then asked, Can a large quantity of water (which would be toxic) make a small quantity of it unlawful? The Imam asws then shook his hand like moving back something with the palm of his hand twice, saying, No, no. 1 ع ن ه ع ن م ح م د ب ن ع ب د ال ج ب ا ع ن ص ف و ان ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن ك ل ي ب ال س د ي ق ال س أ ل ت أ ب ا ع ب د لل ع ن الن ب يذ ف ق ال ن س ول لل ص خ ط ب الن اس ف ق ال ف ي خ ط ب ت ه أ ي ه ا الن اس أ ل ن ك ل م س ك ح ام أ ل و م ا أ س ك ك ث ي ه ف ق ل يل ه ح ا م It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Muhammad ibn Abd Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Kulayb al-asadiy who has said: I once asked Abu Abd Allah asws about al- Nabidh (liquor). The Imam asws said that once the Messenger of Allah saww addressed the people and said, O people, all intoxicating liquor is unlawful. You must take notice that whatever in large quantity is intoxicating liquor its intake in small quantity is also unlawful. 2 ع د ة م ن أ ص ح اب ن ا ع ن س ه ل ب ن ز ي اد ع ن م ع او ي ة ب ن ح ك ي م ع ن أ ب ي م ال ك ال ح ض م ي ع ن أ ب ي ال ج ا ود ق ال س أ ل ت أ ب ا ج ع ف ع ن الن ب يذ أ خ م ه و ف ق ال م ا ز اد ع ل ى الت ك ج و د اة ف ه و خ م 1 h.4.,الكافي ج : 6 ص : 804 2 Ibid, h.6. 2 out of 11
A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Mu awiyah ibn --1:.. -:m from abu Malik al-hadramiy from abu al-jarud who has said: I once asked Abu Jafar asws about al-nabidh: if it is wine. The Imam asws said: Whatever upon drinking is more pleasurable than not drinking, it is wine. 3 م ح م د ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ع ن ال ح س ن ب ن ع ل ي ب ن ي ق ط ين ع ن أ خ يه ال ح س ي ن ب ن ع ل ي ب ن ي ق ط ين ع ن أ ب يه ع ل ي ع ز و ج ل ل م ي ح م ال خ م ل س م ه ا و ل ك ن ه ح م ه ا ل ع اق ب ت ه ا ف م ا ك ا ن ب ن ي ق ط ين ع ن أ ب ي ال ح س ن ال م اض ي ق ال ن لل ع اق ب ت ه ع اق ب ة ال خ م ف ه و خ م Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-hassan ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin from his brother Al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn Yaqtin from his father Ali ibn Yaqtin who has said the following: Abu Al-Hassan asws, the later asws has said, Allah azwj has not Made wine unlawful because of its name. He azwj has Made it unlawful because of its consequences, therefore, whatever, has the same consequence as that of wine, it then is (considered as) wine. 4 حدثنا يعقوب بن يزيد عن زياد القندى عن عبد لل بن سنان عن ابى عبد لل عليه الس لم قال قلت له كيف كان يصنع امي المؤمنين عليه الس لم بشا ب الخم قال كان يحده قلت فان عاد قال يحده ثلث م ات فان عاد كان يقتله قلت فمن ش ب الخم كما ش ب المسك قال سواء فاستعظمت ذلك فقال ل تستعظم ذلك ان لل لما ادب نبيه انتدب ففوض ليه وان لل ح م مكة وان سول لل ح م المدينة فاجاز لل له ذلك وان لل ح م الخم وان سول لل ح م المسك فاجاز لل ذلك كله وان لل ف ض الف ايض من الصلب وان سول لل صلى لل عليه وآله يطعم الجد فاجاز لل ذلك له ثم قال ح ف وما ح ف من يطع ال سول فقد اطا لل. It has been narrated to us by Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Zyad Al-Qindy, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, who has said: I asked Abu Abdullah asws, How did Amir-ul-Momineen asws deal with the drinker of alcohol? He asws said: He asws limited it. I said, And if he returned to it? He asws said: He asws limited it three times, and if he returned to it, he asws killed him. I said, Is the one who drinks intoxicants like the one who drinks alcohol? He asws said: (Yes it s the) Same. I considered that as great (major issue). He asws asked from me: Don t you consider that to be great? When Allah azwj Enlightened His azwj Prophet saww (with the best morality) and He azwj Completed it, He azwj Placed to him saww (the Religion). Allah azwj Sanctified Mecca, and the Rasool Allah saww sanctified Al-Medina. Allah azwj Permitted for him saww all of that. Allah azwj Prohibited the alcohol, and the Rasool Allah saww prohibited all intoxicants. Allah azwj Permitted that for him saww ; and Allah azwj Obligated the obligations from the Ahl Al-Bayt (The Family of the Prophet saww ) and that the Rasool Allah saww included in it the ancestors. Allah azwj Permitted for him saww all of that. Then he asws said to him: O Fazeyl, they have 3. h.5,الكافي ج : 6 ص : 814 4 Ibid, h.2. 3 out of 11
distorted (Tahreef), and what have they distorted [4:80] Whoever obeys the Rasool, he indeed obeys Allah. 5 Liquor cannot be Taken under Compelling Conditions: م ح م د ب ن ال ح س ن ع ن ب ع ض أ ص ح اب ن ا ع ن ب اه يم ب ن خ ال د ع ن ع ب د لل ب ن و ض اح ع ن أ ب ي ب ص ي ق ال د خ ل ت أ م خ ال د ال ع ب د ي ة ع ل ى أ ب ي ع ب د لل و أ ن ا ع ن د ه ف ق ال ت ج ع ل ت ف د اك ن ه ي ع ت ين ي ق اق ف ي ب ط ن ي فف س أ ل ت ه ع ن أ ع ل ل الن س اء و ق ال ت ] و ق د وص ف ل ي أ ط ب اء ال ع اق الن ب يذ ب الس و يق و ق د و ق ف ت و ع ف ت ك اه ت ك ل ه ف أ ح ب ب ت أ ن أ س أ ل ك ع ن ذ ل ك ف ق ا ل ع ز و ج ل ح ين أ ل ق اه ف أ خ ب ه أ ن ج ع ف ب ن م ح م د أ م ن ي و ل ه ا و م ا ي م ن ع ك ع ن ش ب ه ق ال ت ق د ق ل د ت ك د ين ي ف أ ل ق ى لل ن ه ان ي ف ق ال ي ا أ ب ا م ح م د أ ل ت س م ع ل ى ه ذ ه ال م أ ة و ه ذ ه ال م س ائ ل ل و لل ل آذ ن ل ك ف ي ق ط ة م ن ه و ل ت ذ وق ي م ن ه ق ط اة ف إ ن م ا ت ن د م ين ذ ا ب ل غ ت ن ف س ك ه اه ن ا و أ و م أ ب ي د ه ل ى ح ن ج ت ه ي ق ول ه ا ث ل ثاا أ ف ه م ت ق ال ت ن ع م ث م ق ال أ ب و ع ب د لل م ا ي ب ل ال م يل ي ن ج س ح ب اا م ن م اء ي ق ول ه ا ث ل ثاا Muhammad ibn al-hassan has narrated from certain persons of our people from Ibrahim ibn Khalid from Abd Allah ibn Waddah from abu Basir who has said the following: "Once I was with Abu Abd Allah asws when mother of Khalid al- Abdiyah visited him asws. She said, I pray to Allah azwj to keep my soul in service for your asws cause. I have a growling condition in my belly [I asked a women with such condition about it and she said] the physicians of Iraq have prescribed for her al-nabidh with sawiq; but I have learned and I know that you asws dislike it and I like to ask you asws about it. The Imam asws asked, What stops you from drinking it?" She replied, I have taken upon myself to follow your asws instructions in matters of my religion so upon my meeting with Allah azwj I will be able to tell Him azwj that Jafar asws ibn Muhammad asws commanded and prohibited me. The Imam asws asked, O abu Muhammad, do you hear this woman and these issues? No, by Allah azwj, I asws will not give you permission, not even for one drop of it and you must not taste even one drop of it, otherwise you, will regret when the soul reaches here, pointing to his asws throat, Did you understand? She replied, Yes, I understand. The Imam asws then said, A small amount of it (wine) that can hardly moisten an applicator of kohl (eyeliner) to the eye can make a whole hub (a large water container) filthy. The Imam asws said it three times. 6 Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al- Husayn ibn Sa id from al-nadr ibn Suwayd from al-husayn ibn Abd Allah al-arjaniy from Malik al-misma iy from Qayed ibn Talhah who has said: I once asked Abu Abd Allah asws about al-nabidh which is placed in medicine. The Imam asws said, No, it is not proper for one to seek cure from unlawful things. 7 ليس في ش ب المسك و المسح على الخفين تقية 5 Basaair Al Darajaat CH 4 H13 6 h.1.,الكافي ج : 6 ص : 814 7 Ibid, h.8. 4 out of 11
(Amir-ul-Momineen asws said) No Taqiyah pious dissimulation - in drinking the intoxicants and passing the hand over the slippers in the ritual ablution. 8 (Amir-ul-Momineen asws said) Oppose the consumers of intoxicants. 9 خالفوا أصحاب المسك من ش ب مسك ا لم تقبل ص لته أ بعين ليلة (Amir-ul-Momineen asws said) The prayers of those who consume intoxicants will not be accepted for forty nights. 10 و ل تجلسوا على مائدة يش ب عليها الخم فإن العبد ل يد ي متى يؤخذ (Amir-ul-Momineen asws said) Do not sit to a table on which there is wine, no one can guess the very hour in which one s soul is carried away. من ش ب الخم و هو يعلم أنها خم سقاه لل من طينة الخبال و ن كان مغفو ا له (Amir-ul-Momineen asws said) Allah will cause anyone who consumes wine intentionally to drink from the mixture of blood and mud, even if he shows repentance. 11 مدمن الخم يلقى لل عز و جل حين يلقاه كعابد وثن فقال له حج بن عدي يا أمي المؤمنين من المدمن للخم قال الذي ذا وجدها ش بها (Amir-ul-Momineen asws said) Allah azwj will treat the alcoholics same as the idolaters. O Amir-ul-Mominin, asked Hujr bin Edi, Who are the alcoholics? The Imam asws answered: The alcoholics are those who consume intoxicants whenever they find some. 12 من سقى صبيا مسك ا و هو ل يعقل حبسه لل في طينة خبال حتى يأتي مما فعل بمخ ج (Amir-ul-Momineen asws said) For those who serve undiscerning boys wine, Allah azwj will detain them in the mixture of clay and blood, unless they provide a justifiable excuse. 13 8 تحفالعقول 108 آدابه لصحابه و هي أ بعمائة 9 Ibid, 10 Ibid, 11 Ibid, 12 Ibid, 13 Ibid, 5 out of 11
Supplications for Giving-Up Intoxicants وقال الصادق )عليه الس لم(:»و من كتبها و علقها على من يش ب الخم يبغضه و لم يق به أبدا«. و في واية أخ ى:»و لم يذك ه أبدا«. And Al-Sadiq asws said: And the one who writes it (Chapter 23) and attaches it (Amulet) upon the one who drinks the wine, he would come to hate it and would never recognise it at all. And in another report: And he would never mention it ever. 14 وقال الصادق )عليه الس لم(: يبغض الش اب بإذن لل«.»من كتبها لي ل في خ قة بيضاء و علقها على من يش ب النبيذ لم يش به أبدا و And Al-Sadiq asws said: The one writes it (Chapter 23) in a white cloth, and attaches it (Amulet) upon the one who drink Al-Nabeez (intoxicating drink), he would never drink it at all, and would hate the drink, by the Permission on Allah azwj. 15 The Penalty for Drinking Wine ع ل ي ب ن ب اه يم ع ن أ ب يه و م ح م د ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ج م يعاا ع ن اب ن م ح ب وب ع ن س ح اق ب ن ع م ا ق ا ل س أ ل ت أ ب ا ع ب د لل ع ن ج ل ش ب ح س و ة خ م ق ال ي ج ل د ث م ان ين ج ل د اة ق ل يل ه ا و ك ث ي ه ا ح ا م Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Muhammad Ibn Yahva has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from ibn Mahbub from lshaq ibn.

I then asked, What Jews and Christians have to do with it? The Imam asws said, They must not drink in public. They may have it in their homes. 18 ع ل ي ب ن ب اه يم ع ن أ ب يه ع ن اب ن ف ض ال ع ن اب ن ب ك ي ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د لل ق ال ش ب ج ل ال خ م ع ل ى ع ه د أ ب ي ب ك ف ف ع ل ى أ ب ي ب ك ف ق ال ل ه أ ش ب ت خ م اا ق ال ن ع م ق ال و ل م و ه ي م ح م ة ق ال ف ق ال ل ه ال ج ل ن ي أ س ل م ت و ح س ن س ل م ي و م ن ز ل ي ب ي ن ظ ه ان ي ق و م ي ش ب ون ال خ م و ي س ت ح ل ون ه ا و ل و ع ل م ت أ ن ه ا ح ام اج ت ن ب ت ه ا ف ال تف ت أ ب و ب ك ل ى ع م ف ق ال م ا ت ق ول ف ي أ م ه ذ ا ال ج ل ف ق ال ع م م ع ض ل ة و ل ي س ل ه ا ل أ ب و ال ح س ن ق ال ف ق ال أ بو ب ك اد ل ن ا ع ل ي اا ف ق ا ل ع م ي ؤ ت ى ال ح ك م ف ي ب ي ت ه ف ق ام ا و ال ج ل م ع ه م ا و م ن ح ض ه م ا م ن الن اس ح ت ى أ ت و ا أ م ي ال م ؤ م ن ين ف أ خ ب اه ب ق ص ة ال ج ل و ق ص ال ج ل ق ص ت ه ق ال ف ق ال اب ع ث وا م ع ه م ن ي د و ب ه ع ل ى م ج ال س ال م ه اج ين و ال ن ص ا م ن ك ان ت ل ع ل ي ه آي ة الت ح يم ف ل ي ش ه د ع ل ي ه ف ف ع ل وا ذ ل ك ب ه ف ل م ي ش ه د ع ل ي ه أ ح د ب أ ن ه ق أ ع ل ي ه آي ة الت ح يم ف خل ى ع ن ه و ق ال ل ه ن ش ب ت ب ع د ه ا أ ق م ن ا ع ل ي ك ال ح د Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr who has narrated the following: Abu Abd Allah asws has said that in the time of abu Bakr a man drank wine and he was presented before abu Bakr who asked, Did you drink wine? He said, Yes, I did so. He asked, Why did you do so when it is unlawful? He replied, I became a Muslim and my Islam was good. My house is among the houses of a people who drink wine and consider it lawful. Had I known it is unlawful. I would have avoided it. Abu Bakr turned to Umar and asked, What do you say about the case of this man? Umar said it is a difficult question and there is no one for it except Abu Al- Hassan asws. Abu Bakr said, You must call Ali asws for us. Umar said, He gives judgement in his house. They stood up with the man with them and the people present until they came to the house of Amir-ul-Momineen asws and the two informed him asws of the story of the man. The man himself also told his story. The Imam asws said, Send with him to look for those of the people of al-muhajir and Ansar who have read to him the verse of the Quran which is about prohibition on drinking wine and ask them to testify against him. They did so but no one testified to his 18 Ibid,h.8. 7 out of 11
reading the verse of the Quran to him that prohibits drinking wine, The Imam asws released him and said, If you drink again we will apply the penalty on you. 19 The Time of Flogging in Winter and in Summer: ال ح س ي ن ب ن م ح م د ع ن م ع ل ى ب ن م ح م د ع ن أ ب ي د او د ال م س ت ق ق ال ح د ث ن ي ب ع ض أ ص ح اب ن ا ق ال م ت م ع أ ب ي ع ب د لل ب ال م د ين ة ف ي ي و م ب ا د و ذ ا ج ل ي ض ب ب الس و ط ف ق ال أ ب و ع ب د لل س ب ح ان لل ف ي م ث ل ه ذ ا ال و ق ت ي ض ب ق ل ت ل ه و ل لض ب ح د ق ال ن ع م ذ ا ك ان ف ي ال ب د ض ب ف ي ح الن ه ا و ذ ا ك ان ف ي ال ح ض ب ف ي ب د الن ه ا Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu alla ibn Muhammad from abu Dawud al- Mustariq who has said that certain ones of our people narrated to me the following: I once walking with Abu Abd Allah asws in al-madinah on a cold day where a man was being whipped. Abu Abd Allah asws said, AIIah azwj is free of all defects, in this kind of time do they whip him? I then asked, Is there a limit (of time) for it? The Imam asws said, Yes, if it is in cold time whipping must be done in the heat of the day and if it is in hot days whipping must be done in the cool time of the day. 20 م ح م د ش ب ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ع ن ال ح س ن ب ن ع ل ي ع ن س ح ا ق ب ن ع م ا ال خ م ف اج ل د وه ف إ ن ع ا د ف اج ل د وه ف إ ن ع ا د ف اق ت ل وه ع ن أ ب ي ب ص ي ع ن أ ح د ه م ا ق ا ل م ن Mohammed ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al- Hassan ibn Ali from lshaq ibn Ammar from abu Basir who has narrated: One of the two Imams asws, (Abu Ja far asws or Abu Abd Allah asws ) has said, If one drinks wine you must whip him, if he does it again whip him again; and if he does it again then put him to death. 21 م ح م د ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح م د ع ن ص ف و ا ن ع ن ي ون س ع ن أ ب ي ال ح س ن ال م اض ي ال ح د ود م ت ي ن ق ت ل وا ف ي الث ال ث ة ق ا ل أ ص ح ا ب ال ك ب ائ ك ل ه ا ذ ا أ ق ي م ع ل ي ه م Muhammad ibn Ahmad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Safwan from Yunus who has narrated: Abu Al-Hassan, before this Abu Al-Hassan asws has said, People who commit major sins twice are put to death at the third time. 22 حدثنا يعقوب بن يزيد ومحمد بن عيسى عن زياد القندى عن محمد بن عما ه عن فضيل بن يسا قال سئلته كيف كان يصنع امي المؤمنين بشا ب الخم قال كان يحده قلت فان كان عاد قال يحده ثلث م ات فان عاد كان يقتله قلت كيف كان يصنع بشا ب المسك قال مثل ذلك قلت فمن ش ب ش بة مسك كمن ش ب ش بة خم قال سواء فاستعظمت ذلك فقال لى يا فضيل ل تستعظم ذلك فان لل انما بعث محمدا حمة للعالمين و لل ادب نبيه فاحسن تأديبه فلما انتدب فوض ليه فح م لل الخم وح م سول لل صلى لل عليه وآله كل مسك فاجاز لل ذلك له وح م 19 h.16.,الكافي ج : 7 ص : 517 vol.7,h.1.

He asws said: He asws limited it. I said, And if he returned to it? He asws said: He asws limited it three times, and if he returned to it, he asws killed him. I said, How did he asws deal with the drinker of intoxicants? He asws said: Similar to that. I said, Is the one who drinks intoxicants like the one who drinks alcohol? He asws said: (yes, it s the) Same. I considered that as great (major issue). He asws said to me: Do not consider that to be great, for Allah azwj Who Sent Muhammad saww as a Mercy to the Worlds, and Allah azwj Enlightened His azwj Prophet saww with the best morality. When He azwj Completed it, He azwj Placed to him saww (the Religion). Allah azwj Prohibited the alcohol, and the Rasool Allah saww prohibited all intoxicants.

It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Azaafar, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from one of our companions, from Abu Ja far asws having said that: Allah azwj Blessed and High Enlightened Muhammad saww. When he saww achieved the morals, Placed to him saww (the Religion). The Blessed and High Said [59:7] and whatever the Rasool gives you, accept it, and from whatever he forbids you, keep back. He azwj Said [4:80] Whoever obeys the Rasool, he indeed obeys Allah. Allah azwj Obligated the obligations from the Ahl Al-Bayt (The Family of the Prophet saww ) and that the Rasool Allah saww included in it the ancestors. Allah azwj Permitted that for him saww, and Allah azwj Send down in His azwj Book the Prohibition of the alcohol especially. The Rasool Allah saww prohibited the intoxicants. Allah azwj Permitted that for him saww in many of the things. The prohibition of the Rasool Allah saww is of the same status as of the Prohibition of Allah azwj. 25 حدثنا اب اهيم بن هاشم عن يحيى بن ابى عم ان عن يونس عن اب اهيم بن عبد الحميد عن ابى بصي قال سئلت ابا عبد لل عليه الس لم عن قوله ان لل فوض ا لم لى محمد صلى لل عليه وآله فقال ما اتيكم ال سول فخذوه وما نهيكم عنه فانتهوا قال ان لل خلق محمدا صلى لل عليه وآله طاه ا ثم ادبه حتى قومه على ما ا اد ثم فوض ليه ا لم فقال ما اتيكم ال سول فخذوه وما نهيكم عنه فانتهوا فح م لل الخم بعينها وح م سول لل صلى لل عليه وآله المسك من كل ش اب وف ض لل ف ايض الصلب واعطى سول لل صلى لل عليه وآله الجد فاجاز لل له ذلك واشياء ذك ها من هذا الباب.
