Alcohol addiction is a general phenomenon that affects communities as a whole and is one of the intractable problems that governments and institutions are trying to address. The Arabs’ minds were inclined towards drinking wine until when Islam came and brought solutions in a way that made them shun away the practice according to the teaching of Islamic law. This study used an analytical method based on qualitative data collection and analysis. The researchers tried to explain the concept of addiction and alcohol, and the role of the Sunnah in the treatment of addiction to alcohol through Islamic laws that prevent Muslims from approaching intoxicants. One of the most interesting findings of this study is that differences in the names of alcohol do not negate its prohibition; the little of what intoxicates in large quantity is also haram (forbidden). Before punishment, Islam has certainly established rules to prevent people from approaching alcohol. Islam did not begin to resolve the problem of alcohol addiction through punishment, but identified the causes that lead Muslims to alcohol addiction, and then addressed those causes to prevent Muslims from being addicted to alcohol.
