Salaah of a person who is intoxicated
Question
A drunk/intoxicated person read salaah. Will it be accepted? Will he get reward?
Answer
1. Salaah is not valid in the state of intoxication. After one becomes sober, the Salaah will have to be repeated.
2. When the Salaah is not valid, how can one receive any reward?
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
