To what extent are the mentioned hadiths concerning the prohibition of alcohol and the punishment for its drinker authentic, and who are their narrators?
Sound religious texts have been revealed, clarifying the prohibition of alcohol, its drinker, and anyone connected to it. This includes the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) cursing of ten categories of people, the prohibition of every intoxicant, and that an alcoholic will not drink it in the Hereafter.
There are also weak or baseless hadiths, such as the prohibiting sitting with alcohol drinkers, attending their funerals, marrying them, and describing their appearance on the Day of Judgment; and the hadith that an alcoholic will not perceive the scent of Paradise; or that whoever feeds an alcohol drinker, Allah will unleash snakes and scorpions upon him; or that the heart of an alcohol drinker will turn black.
The authentic hadiths regarding the prohibition of alcohol are sufficient, rendering the false or weak hadiths unnecessary.
