If he consumes it for the third time his prayer will not be accepted for another forty days and if he repents again Allah will accept his repentance again. But if he consumes it for the forth time Allah will not accept his prayers for another forty days. If he repents again Allah will not accept his repentance. And the punishment will be that in the life hereafter Allah will make him consume filth from the drain in the Hell.?now looking at thisQuestion:What is the ruling of the Islaamic sharee?ah upon the person who drinks alcohol at night, and in the morning, he establishes the prayer ? and indeed the prayers prevents from indecency and evil ? is his prayer correct or null and void?answer:If a person prays the prayer, fulfilling its pillars, its preconditions and its obligatory aspects, then it is saheehah (correct).
