The answer

The work of rehabilitating prisoners and instilling righteous values ​​in them is an important and obligatory matter, especially for prisoners involved in moral and behavioral cases. The death penalty for drug traffickers is not denied in Islam; it is a discretionary punishment due to the great corruption and severe harm caused by drug trafficking. Among the greatest things that can be done in rehabilitating prisoners is inviting the non-believers among them to Islam, and reminding those who abandon prayer of the seriousness of their sin and the obligation to establish prayer.
