Is it a sin to give away alcohol, that was received as an unwanted gift, to a non-Muslim? If so, what is the evidence for it?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is a sinful act to give away alcohol to any human being even if you received it as unwanted gift from non Muslim. We must refrain from giving alcohol to any human being because it is an evil and we should not part with it in any way but only to destroy it.

I have heard that Sayyidina Ali once offered a prayer in a drunken state and made mistakes as a result of which a verse was sent down prohibiting Khamr. Is this authentic history?
Abolfazl Sabouri

It is clear that this Hadith is fake. Ali is the Master of believers according to Qur'an 5:55

And he is the one who we must obey and follow according to Qur'an 4:59
I have heard that Sayyidina Ali once offered a prayer in a drunken state and made mistakes as a result of which a verse was sent down prohibiting Khamr. Is this authentic history?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

This is a false narration fabricated by the enemies of Imam Ali (AS). The narrator is Ataa' ibn al-Saa'ib عطاء بن السائب who is mentioned in main Sunni books of Rijaal as a rejected person. Yahya Ibn Mo'een said about him: His narrations are not valid. Ahmad Ibn Hanbal and al-Dhahabi and Abu Haram and al-Nasaa'ee  and ibn'Olayyah and al-Humaidy spoke against him and his narrations.

Is it a sin to drink alcohol? What is my position if I drink alcohol but still perform Solat five times a day?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Drinking alcohol is a major sin in Islam. Major sins lead to hell fire.

Allah, The Glorious ordered Muslims in Quran to be away from alcohol and called as (Evil from the work of Satan)(5:90).

Prophetic Hadeeth says : The person who drinks alcohol is like an idol worshiper. (Eqaab al-A'maal by Shaikh al-Sadouq).

Our leading scholars stated that denying the prohibition of alcohol is denying a compulsory rule in Islam which amounts to denying Islam as a religion.
