Husband Drinks Alcohol

Q:

I m married and i want to ask something about activities of my husband.. I found out that my husband use to drink beer withi his friends, i want to know that is it is allowed a/c to Islam.. I don’t know that he drank alcoholic beer or non-alcholic because he didn’t talk to me in that matter he use to hide it. What should i do in that case??plz do tell me about it a/c to quran and hadith.

A:

Salam Alaykum,

There are a few Ayahs in the Quran that speak about Alcohol and drinking for instance (2:219):

They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, “In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit.” And they ask you what they should spend. Say, “The excess [beyond needs].” Thus Allah makes clear to you the verses [of revelation] that you might give thought

Also,
Kindly refer to the link below for rulings in Alcohol 
If I understood correctly, he is still drinking alcohol? 
If he is, and you’re sure it’s not the non-alcoholic than you must mention to him and clarify it with him
You can also show him the above link to tell him that drinking alcohol according to Islamic law is Haram. 
If you fear that this approach will be a dent into your married life than you may speak to an Aalim or an elderly who will listen to you and who your husband will listen to and help you resolve this indirectly.
Fiamanillah
