Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that regarding any person upon whom I have enforced a legal punishment, I do not feel any uneasiness in my heart, except for the one who drinks alcohol. If, after administering the prescribed lashes to him, someone dies, then I pay his blood money, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify any fixed limit for it (whether forty lashes should be given or eighty).
