Is the ruling on intoxicants (drugs) the same as the ruling on alcohol in terms of being denied entry into Paradise and drinking alcohol in the Hereafter?
Intoxicants are all that cloud the mind. This definition applies to drugs due to their intoxicating effect, their ability to cloud the mind, and their corruption of both religious and worldly affairs. Scholars have unanimously agreed on the prohibition of all intoxicants and stupefying substances. Hashish is forbidden, and its user is subject to flogging. It is more vile than alcohol because it corrupts the mind and disposition, whereas alcohol leads to disputes and fighting. Drugs are more strictly forbidden than alcohol. Whoever drinks alcohol in this world and does not repent of it will be deprived of it in the Hereafter. This warning applies to drinking alcohol even if intoxication does not occur.
