Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does the hadith imply that the hadd punishment is carried out on a man while he is in a state of intoxication? Is it permissible to say that the hadd is applied as a discretionary punishment (ta'zir) while he is in a state of intoxication?
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : He was brought in as a drinker.
The Shaykh : A drinker yesterday; he did not say he was intoxicated.
The student: Discuss it.
The Shaykh : Discuss it. Yes, the statement I made: it is not necessary that being a drinker means he is intoxicated.
