Does the warning regarding the drinker of intoxicants include one who sniffs or eats an intoxicating substance?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Regarding the hadith of the warning, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that on the Day of Resurrection, the baker will be among those who drink from the Pool. Is it said that if he sniffs it or eats it, the same ruling applies as if he drank it or ate it?

Answer : There is no difference. If the sniffing intoxicates him, there is no difference. If it intoxicates, there is no harm. The Messenger said that every intoxicating substance is the same, whether it is eaten, drunk, or sniffed.
