[Machine] Indeed, I divorced my wife while I was drunk. The opinion of Umar was that he should be flogged and they should be separated. Aban ibn Uthman reported that Uthman said, "There is no divorce for the madman or the drunkard." Umar said, "How can you command me, and this is what Uthman is telling me?" So he flogged him and returned his wife to him. Al-Zuhri mentioned that Raja ibn Haywah mentioned it as hope, and he said, "Abdul-Malik ibn Marwan recited to us a book by Muawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan containing the Sunan, in which he said that divorce is permissible for everyone except the madman." The sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said that it was narrated from Tawus that he said, "How can his divorce be valid when his prayer is not accepted for him?" And it was narrated from Ata' about the divorce of the drunkard that he said, "It is nothing." And it was narrated from Aban ibn Uthman the same, and it has already been mentioned in the Book of Iqrar the Hadith of Sulayman ibn Buraydah from his father in the story of Ma'iz ibn Malik when he said to the Prophet, ﷺ , "What will purify you?" He said, "From adultery." The Prophet, ﷺ , said, "What kind of insanity is this?" It was reported that he was not mad, so he said, "Have you drunk wine?" So a man stood up and rebuked him, but he did not smell any scent of wine from him. So the Prophet, ﷺ , said, "Are you intoxicated?" He said, "Yes." So the Prophet, ﷺ , commanded that he be stoned. It is clear from this that he intended to invalidate his confession by intoxication, as he intended to invalidate his confession by insanity. This indicates that his statement has no ruling, and whoever said the opposite, it is answered to him that this was within the limits prescribed by Allah as a precautionary measure, and Allah knows best.
