Question:
Is it true that the prayer of one who drinks intoxicants is not accepted for forty days?
Answer:
One who drinks intoxicants has committed a major sin among the major sins. In the hadith, it is stated that he will not enter Paradise; this is one of the hadiths of warning. That is, he may be forbidden from entering Paradise from the very beginning and be punished with the Fire for drinking intoxicants, because it is a major sin among the major sins. As for the claim that his prayer is not accepted for forty days, I do not know of anything to that effect. Yes.
