[quote]I disagree with you on this issue. I don't believe a drunkard should be killed no matter how many times he drinks alcohol. The punishment of flogging them was instated by the prophet, and he gave no other instructions for dealing with drunkards. And certain people would be brought to him several times because they were drunk and he would still command that they be lashed 40 times. And if this drunk person is corrupting others with his drinking problem, then they should be lashed as well. If they are weak enough in their faith to follow him in doing something which everyone knows is against Islam. Then they deserve to be punished alongside him. Eventually they will stop drinking. Or they might die while the prescribed punishment is taking place. Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) gave a beating with palm branches and shoes, and that Abu Bakr gave forty lashes. When Umar (became the Commander of the Faithful) and the people went near to pastures and towns, he said (to the Companions of the Holy Prophet). What is your opinion about lashing for drinking? Thereupon Abd al-Rahman b. Auf said: My opinion is that you fix it as the mildest punishment. Then 'Umar inflicted eighty stripes. Ali reported: If I impose Hadd on anyone, and he (in course of punish ment) dies, I would not mind except in case of a drunkard. If he dies. I would pay indemnity for him because the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) has laid down no rule for it.[/quote]
