If a dhimmi (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection) openly drinks intoxicants; is the Islamic hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) applied to him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a dhimmi openly drinks intoxicants, is the Islamic hudud applied to him?

Answer:
His covenant is broken. The Islamic hudud is not applied to him because he believes this is lawful. However, if he openly drinks intoxicants or eats pork, his covenant is broken, because we made a covenant with him that he would not openly display these things. His covenant is broken. Yes.
