<![CDATA[The punishment of flogging for those who drink alcohol is a form of implementing hudud law in Islam, which is determined based on the Qur’an and Hadith. Alcohol, as anything that intoxicates, is forbidden because it damages the mind, of the main objectives of the maqashid al-syari’ah. The hadith of Ibn Umar states that”Everything that intoxicates is alcohol, and every alcohol is forbidden.” The companions, including Umar bin Khattab and Ali bin Abi Thalib, agreed to set a punishment of 80 lashes. In Indonesia, especially in Aceh, the implementation of this punishment is regulated in the Qanun Jinayat through Article175 KUHP which regulates the technicalities and procedures for its implementation. The punishment of flogging is determined based on the Qur’an and Hadith under the auspices of the law with the aim of providing a deterrent effect for the suspect and social learning for the entire community. This study aims to analyze the normative and legal basis of the punishment for drinking alcohol based on the hadith and local regulations. This punishment is not only repressive, but also educative and preventive, in maintaining morals and community social order.]]>
