Fatwa #23682
Question
In fatwa 23674 you have stated that salah is not valid if a person has had alcohol but umrah is valid. Howcome?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is possible you may have misread fatwa 23674, please review. The Umrah of a person is valid ONLY if he is not intoxicated/drunk at the time of performing Umrah. If he has consumed alcohol or is intoxicated at the time of performing Umrah, his Umrah will NOT be valid.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
