Abū al-Dardāʾ reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, ‘A habitual drinker of wine will not enter Paradise.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic term describes someone who persists in drinking wine; this rendering follows the wording without adding a qualification not stated in the report.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مُدْمِنُ خَمْرٍ " .
The report gives an unqualified statement about the habitual drinker of wine and does not state an exception in this wording.
Should the statement be understood as absolute, or does it presuppose a further theological qualification not expressed here?
