Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man who drank intoxicants was brought (how should he be dealt with)?
Answer:
Likewise, regarding the hadith about drinking intoxicants: if he drinks, he is advised, clarified, and directed toward good, and told not to return to it.
He is not cursed, and he is not abused; Satan is not aided against him. Let it be said: May Allah guide him, O Allah, reform him, O Allah, guide him, O Allah, bestow upon him repentance. He loves for his brother what he loves for himself. When it was said: O Messenger of Allah, the tribe of Daws has rebelled and refused to submit to Islam, he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 2937. So a person supplicates for his brother with good, and supplicates for him for sincere repentance, and does not expose him, and does not abuse him.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only abused those who openly declared their evil against the Muslims, such as Abu Jahl and his group. He would recite the qunut supplication against them, and when their evil became apparent to the Muslims, they were supplicated against.

The Muslim is the brother of the Muslim
المسلم أخو المسلمO Allah! Give guidance to the people of Daus, and let them embrace Islam.
اللهم اهدِ دوسًا وائتِ بهمThe Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only abused those who openly declared their evil against the Muslims, such as Abu Jahl and his group. He would recite the qunut supplication against them, and when their evil became apparent to the Muslims, they were supplicated against.
