Question
It is said that a person who consumes liquor, his ibaadat is not accepted for 40 days. If before the 40 days it is Eidul Adha, should he make Qur'baani? Will it be accepted?
Answer
Yes, he still has to offer the
Qur'baani just as he has to perform all acts of ibaadat such as Salaat, Fasting, etc. The meaning of his ibaadat not being accepted is that he is deprived of the thawaab (reward) of the ibaadat. Nevertheless, it remains compulsory for him to discharge all ibaadat obligations. Furthermore, if he repents, then the sin is forgiven and he will then be rewarded for all his acts of ibaadat during the 40 day period.
