Islamic Law". The writer had managed to carry out research in Selangor and found that
Drug Addict is the most serious problem in Malaysia. Efforts are been made at the
national level to combat and curb its deadly effect on humanity. A national association
against drug abused is established with the purpose of educating the public about drug
problems. At same time, while the country is advancing and developing with the
technology it is undeniable of the existence of social problem. According to the Drug
Narcotic Agency of Selangor National report, the number of drug addicts in Selangor

In Islamic law, drugs were not known previously because these substances did never
existed in the sixth century of Hijra. The main sources of guidance and reference in Islam
are the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the prophet, but we can use them to impose
judgement for drugs in Qias. So it should be based on some Qias as the same as wines.
We need to rethink of our approach to drug education prevention with suitable treatment
and rehabilitation services.
