Islam forbids Muslims from drinking alcohol and giving it as a gift.
The eminent Muslim scholar, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, states: “Just as the sale of alcohol or receiving the price of it is haram (unlawful) for the Muslim, likewise giving it as a gift to anyone, such as a Christian or Jewish friend, is haram. Alcoholic beverages cannot be received or given by a Muslim as gifts because a Muslim is pure and neither gives nor receives anything except what is pure.
It is reported that a man brought a cask of wine to the Prophet (peace and blessings be on him) as a gift. The Prophet (peace and blessings be on him) informed him that Allah had prohibited it. ‘Shall I not sell it?’ asked the man. ‘The One Who prohibited drinking it has also prohibited selling it,’ replied the Prophet (peace and blessings be on him). ‘Shall I not give it to a Jew as a gift?’ asked the man. ‘The One Who has prohibited it has also prohibited that it be given as a gift to the Jew,’ said the Prophet. ‘Then what shall I do with it?’ asked the man. ‘Pour it on the ground,’ the Prophet replied. (Reported by al-Hamidi in his Musnad)”
