what is the punishment for drug trafficking and production in islam?




2.      Question:
what is the punishment for drug trafficking and production in islam?

Answer:
As far as we are aware of, there is no specific punishment in Islam on a person who produces or traffics intoxicants and drugs. It is known that it is the Muslim judge who determines the punishment on the disobediences about which no punishment is stated in the Sharee’ah. This is a punishment which is not estimated in Islam and which must be applied in order to fulfil the rights of Allaah and the rights of people. This is generally in regard to acts of disobedience in which no Hadd (i.e. the corporal punishment determined by the Islamic Law) or expiation is mentioned. In this case the Muslim judge chooses a punishment which corresponds to the situation. Heendeavours to choose what is best according to the different status of people and according to the level of disobedience.Finally, the punishment that is applied in some Muslim countries on drug trafficking and producing is the death penalty.     
Allaah Knows best.
