Who will receive a more severe punishment?

Question:

Assalam wailaikum warahmatullah wabarakatu

Who will receive a more severe punishment in the hereafter

  1. a) a habitual drinker or
  2. b) one who is not a drinker But involved in the sale of alcohol ๐Ÿบ?

ย Note ๐Ÿ“ both are from among the ummati

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salฤmu โ€˜alaykum wa-rahmatullฤhi wa-barakฤtuh.

Both a habitual drinker and a person involved in the sale of alcohol are involved in major sin. The question and comparison should not be about which sin or punishment is greater and severe than the other. Rather, we should abstain from all sins and obey the commands of Allah Taโ€™ala and Rasulullah ๏ทบ.

“The Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) cursed ten involved in wine: The one who presses (squeezes grapes etc.) it, the one who has it pressed, its drinker, its carrier, and the one it is carried to, its server, its seller, the consumption of its price, the one who purchases it and the one it was purchased for.” [Tirmidhi]

And Allah Taโ€™ฤla Knows Best
