The number of lashes for the drinker of intoxicants

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If Allah forgives you the hadd punishment for intoxicants by way of ta'zir (discretionary punishment), there is no specific limit; the hadd for the drinker of intoxicants

Answer:
is the hadd of its value, just as the Companions did. They passed by it and handed over its value, (Exalted and Majestic is He). But nothing is added to it if the imam sees fit. No, the condition is that it not be forty or more, not a lot. No, it is eighty, as the practice of the Companions settled on, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Adhere to my Sunnah," and he did not specify a limit, (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, he struck them with branches and sandals; he did not specify a limit, (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
