A man on whom the smell of wine is found: what is due from him?

Sayyiduna al-Sa'ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to punish even for the smell.

Alqamah said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) recited Surah Yusuf in Hims. A man said: "This surah was not revealed like this." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) went close to him and detected the smell of wine on him. He said to him: "You deny the truth and drink what is filthy! By Allah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me this surah in exactly this way. I will not leave you until I apply the prescribed punishment (hadd) to you." Then he applied the hadd to him.

Yazid bin al-Asamm said that a close relative of Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to her, and she detected the smell of wine on him. She said: "If you do not go out to the Muslims so that they apply the prescribed punishment (hadd) to you or purify you, you are never to enter my house."

Ibn Abi Mulaykah said: I wrote to Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), asking him about a man on whom the smell of wine is detected. He said: "If he is a habitual drinker, apply the prescribed punishment (hadd) to him."

Muhammad bin Sharik said that Ibn Abi Mulaykah said: A man from whom came the smell of wine was brought to me, and at that time I was the judge of Ta'if. I intended to beat him, but he said: "I only ate fruit." He said: I wrote to Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him), and he wrote back to me: "If there is a fruit whose smell resembles the smell of wine, then remove the punishment from him."

Ibn Jurayj said that Ata and Amr bin Dinar said: "There is no prescribed punishment (hadd) for the smell."

Ibn Jurayj said that Ata did not hold the view that the prescribed punishment (hadd) is applied on the basis of the smell.
