Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the hadd punishment for drinking applied to one who consumes narcotics by analogy with wine?
Answer:
The hadd punishment for drinking is applied to him, because he is more deserving of it than the one who drinks wine. They apply the hadd punishment for drinking to him and treat him for his addiction until he is cured. This is what is done now: they treat him in the clinics until he is cured of this substance. Yes.
