Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a dhimmi or a musta'min (a non-Muslim granted safe conduct) drinks intoxicants in a Muslim country and does not cause harm to anyone, is he prevented from doing so, or is it denounced?
Answer:
He is prevented from doing it openly. As for if he drinks it in the back of his house and no one sees him, he is not prevented from it. But if he drinks it openly, or in the shop, or in the street, he is prevented from this, and it is exposed.
