Chapter on the Legal Punishment for Drinking Alcohol and Reports Regarding Singing and Amusements

وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "شَارِبُ اَلْخَمْرِ إِنْ مَرِضَ فَلاَ تَعُودُوهُ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ فَلاَ تَشْهَدُوهُ وَ إِنْ شَهِدَ فَلاَ تُزَكُّوهُ وَ إِنْ خَطَبَ إِلَيْكُمْ فَلاَ تُزَوِّجُوهُ فَإِنَّ مَنْ زَوَّجَ اِبْنَتَهُ شَارِبَ اَلْخَمْرِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَادَهَا إِلَى اَلزِّنَا وَ مَنْ زَوَّجَ اِبْنَتَهُ مُخَالِفاً لَهُ عَلَى دِينِهِ فَقَدْ قَطَعَ رَحِمَهَا وَ مَنِ اِئْتَمَنَ شَارِبَ اَلْخَمْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَلَى اَللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى ضَمَانٌ".
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "If a wine drinker falls ill, do not visit him; if he dies, do not attend his funeral; if he testifies, do not accept his testimony; and if he seeks marriage from you, do not marry him off. Whoever marries his daughter to a wine drinker, it is as if he has led her to adultery. And whoever marries his daughter to someone who opposes his faith has severed her family ties. Whoever entrusts a wine drinker with something has no guarantee from Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Blessed and Exalted."
