Question<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I drank alcohol on the 26th of April at a friend’s wedding. Though it is haram in Islam I did and I am extremely sorry for it to Allah my creator. My question is, from the month of 17<\/span>th<\/span> May there will be Ramadan. Though I am a naapak person now. Will my fasting be accepted? \u00a0And my namaz including tarawih namaz will be accepted?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although I am naapak for 40 days, what do I have to do to pay a penalty or recover my fasting days, which I have been wasted being an alcoholic?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah the most Beneficent, the Most Merciful<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah The Most High said, \u201cWhen those who believe in Our revelations come to you [Prophet], say, \u2018Peace be upon you. Your Lord has taken it on Himself to be merciful: if any of you has foolishly done a bad deed, and afterward repented and mended his ways, God is most forgiving and most merciful.\u201d (Surah Al- An\u2019aam, ayah 54)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, \u201cWhoever drinks wine, his prayer is not accepted from him for 40 days. If he repents, Allah forgives him\u2026\u201d [Tirmidhi]\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drinking wine or other intoxicants is a major sin. In order for one to eradicate the sin, one should engage in sincere repentance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cNot accepted\u201d in the hadith means that the prayers are not accepted in terms of reward. Although, the obligation of the prayer will be lifted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a nutshell, the obligation of the fasting and the prayers will be lifted, however, you will not receive the full reward where a single fardh prayer is equivalent to seventy fardhs as mentioned in a Hadith of Sahih Ibn Khuzaimah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
