Takhrij:
«أخرجه البخاري، الحدود، باب الضرب بالجريد والنعال، حديث:6778، واللفظ له ، ومسلم، الحدود، باب حد الخمر، حديث:1707.»©Explanation:
➊ The reason why Ali radi Allahu anhu stated that blood money (diyah) is due in the case where a person dies from the punishment for drinking alcohol is that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not prescribe a fixed punishment (hadd) for the one who drinks alcohol. Therefore, if a person dies as a result of this punishment, it falls under the category of accidental killing (qatl khata’), and in the case of accidental killing, payment of blood money (diyah) is obligatory.
➋ The majority of scholars (jumhur ulama) also hold the view that if a person dies as a result of discretionary punishment (ta’zir), it is necessary for the head of state to pay his blood money (diyah).
