QuizTime (122): For which crime, Sahaba agreed eighty lashes as a punishment for one who commits?

 

 

Ans:  Wine(Alcohol).

“When Walid bin `Uqbah was brought to `Uthman, they had testified against him. He said to 'Ali: 'You are close to your uncle's son, so carry out the legal punishment on him.' So 'Ali whipped him. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave forty lashes, and Abu Bakr gave forty lashes, and 'Umar gave eighty all are Sunnah.'”[Sunna Ibn Maja Hadith 2571]

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to beat (offenders) for drinking wine with sandals and date-palm stalks.”[Sunna ibn Maja Hadith 2570]

 

Comments:

a. There is no fixed range of the maximum or minimum punishment for drinking wine, that is why there is the possibility of awarding a greater or lesser punishment. The range fixed by 'Umar with the consultation of the Companion is eighty lashes and there should be no change in it.

b. In other punishments the offender is whipped, but in this punishment he can be beaten with sandals or sticks.

c. The Companion of the Prophet agreed upon the punishment of eighty lashes, so eighty lashes is the correct punishment.

[Sunna ibn Maja vol 3 page 473]
