As Salamu Alaykum I know drinking Alcohol is haram is a sin in Islam for Muslims but my question is in an Islamic State a Caliphate under a Caliph could a Muslims ever be killed for drinking or if they are caught in public drinking are they just given Lashes what if they are caught several times I would think that like Prohibition in America if someone really wanted to drink and was Muslim was living in a Caliphate they would try to keep it a secret or make Alcohol in their own Homes or drink there or maybe buy from Non Muslims anyways I now drinking is haram in Islam but I have met Muslims who drink I tell them to keep it a secret Islam says to keep sins a secret anyways right I think I heard a Scholar say it is better to say the Shahada and still drink Alcohol then remain a Non Muslim if they don't want to stop is this right or wrong thank you for the time what does the Quran and Hadiths say are they still Muslims ?

Let’s say you want to convert to Islam, but there are a lot of things you don’t want to give up, like partying and drinking, what do you do? Listen to Sh. Dr. Bilal Philips’s answer.

Salam bro. According to the majority of Sunni Scholars the act of sin doesnt make you disbeliever. It makes you a sinner. Only some radical madhabs say otherwise.

I can only say what our brother has said, it does not remove you from Islam but it does put you in sin and you have to repent. The punishment is that the person's prayers are not accepted by Allah for forty days.

Salam sister. You know every answer brings up another question :) Of course the acceptance of our prayers is only up to our Rabb. We merely must be in a position of hope to be accepted. But my question is if we know for sure that our prayers will not be accepted for forty days after drinking alcohol, what is the purpose of praying for these forty days? If one drinks alcohol than he better be busy of other things instead?
 
People misunderstand. Salaah not being accepted is not what you think. The Salaah is Fardh five times a day. When you perform it (despite having drunk alcohol), your Salaah is accepted and it is ticked off by the Malaa'ikah (recording angels) that you have performed your Faraa'idh (obligatory Salaats) for the day. What is meant by not accepted is that you do not receive any reward for Salaah for 40 days.

Asalamu Alaikum. No reward for praying for 40 days..is that case of not repenting and praying or even after repenting one doesn't get reward for 40 days?

Which Muslim caliphs? Which era are you referring to?

He's probably referring to fictional novel "1001 Arabian Nights" lol. Apparently Abbasid Khalip Harun al Rashid consumed alcohol in this fictional setting which became a literary marvel in Europe.

Take the accusations with a grain of salt, a large crystallized one.

Full of perverted stories, that book. Every woman cheating on her husband with "African slaves". Just waits for the husband to go on a trip, then out come the "African slaves" from the trees, of all places. Why the trees? The author was a racist. Tries to demonize African people. It's an evil book.
 
I actually enjoyed reading it when I did (maaaaany years ago) the way sheherazade spins the stories in order to stay alive another day, is genius in itself - she kept the King (who was a notorious drunkard) hanging each night, and he came back the next day wanting more of the story. ... colourful is how i'd describe it :D

Salam Huzaifah. I see your point and thanks for sharing it. If it is what you say it sounds more understandable but if it is as Little_Lion says it sounds less understandable to me.
 
I read in Ibn Hazm that there is many Caliphs during the Abbasides, Andalucia... were drinking wine among them i can mention Al Mutamad Ibn Abbad (the king of Seville) he was even making poetry about wine and you can read that in his book. The same thing with the greatest caliph of Andalusia Al Mansur Mohamed Ibnu Abi Amer...

You can read the poetry of Arabs during the Muslim caliphates, among them there many caliphs who were poets...

I can also mention the greatest Arabian poet Al-Mutanabbi who was against wine but then he drank his first cup of wine with Sayf Addawla Al Hamdani, the one caliphate who faught the Romans in Aleppo.

And the list goes on and on... If you want to know more about this subject you can read the book of Ibnu Khaledun as well (Al Mukaddima)

I don't stop here, Because Even Harun Arrashid was accused of drinking alcohol but no one knows if it's true or not. This accusation was made against him because he were always accompanied by Abu Nawas (The poet of wine). The latter was well financed by Harun Arrashid. And Allahu Aalam.
