Hadith: Every intoxicant is Khamr (alcoholic drink), and every intoxicant is prohibited. Whoever drinks Khamr in this world and dies while being addicted to it without repenting will not drink it in the Hereafter
عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:
«كل مُسْكِرٍ خَمْرٌ، وكل مُسْكِرٍ حرام، ومن شرِب الخمر في الدنيا فمات وهو يُدْمِنُهَا لَمْ يَتُبْ، لَمْ يَشْرَبْهَا في الآخرة».

Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Every intoxicant is Khamr (alcoholic drink), and every intoxicant is prohibited. Whoever drinks Khamr in this world and dies while being addicted to it without repenting will not drink it in the Hereafter."
[Authentic hadith] - - [Sahih Muslim - 2003]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that whatever leads to losing control over one's mental faculties is considered intoxicant Khamr, whether it is to be drunk, eaten, inhaled, or otherwise; and whatever is intoxicant and clouds the mind is prohibited and forbidden by Allah Almighty, whether it is a small or big amount. Whoever drinks any of these intoxicants on a regular basis without repenting thereof until he dies will deserve Allah's punishment, namely being deprived of drinking it in Paradise.
