Whoever willingly drinks a muskir, 1645 whether a small or large amount, while knowing that a large amount of it causes sukr, is flogged 40 times. This is because ‘Ali flogged al-Waleed ibn ‘Uqbah 40 times 1646 for drinking khamr, and he said, “The Prophet (SA) flogged 40 times, Abu Bakr flogged 40 times, and ‘Umar flogged 80 times; all are Sunnah, and I prefer this.” 1647 The same applies whether it is the juice of grapes or anything else. 1648
وَمَنْ شَرِبَ مُسْكِرًا، قَلَّ أَوْ كَثُرَ، مُخْتَارًا، عَالِمًا أَنَّ كَثِيْرَهُ يُسْكِرُ، جُلِدَ اْلحَدَّ أَرْبَعِيْنَ جَلْدَةً؛ لأَنَّ عَلِيًّا جَلَدَ اْلوَلِيْدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ فِيْ اْلخَمْرِ أَرْبَعِيْنَ، وَقاَلَ: "جَلَدَ النَّبِيُّ أَرْبَعِيْنَ، وَأَبُوْ بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعِيْنَ، وَعُمَرُ ثَمَانِيْنَ، وَكُلٌّ سُنَّةٌ، وَهَذَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ."
