Islamic marriage advice and family advice

Are duas and prayers of a Muslim accepted when he is drunk?

Dear SHEIKH,

I am writing to you to seek advice for my brother. I know that he drinks and takes drugs. All my family is religious alhamdullillah and i know if my. mother finds out will be very upset.. He actually was the most religious in the family. He is the one that all of us are now more obedient to allah and we didnt pray fajr before but he constantly woke us up and now all my family prays all salah at the right times. However he has changed. I dont know why but he started drinking i can smell it on him and am sure he takes drugs as sometimes his eyes are so dilated and red, and he has lost so much weight.I once tried to talk to him but he said am being paranoid. One night when he came home late and as we share a room he thought i was asleep.I am sure he was drunk but i heard him asking allah for forgiveness and was making duas to help him repent and stop him . being addicted.Are these duas accepted?

  1. Yes these duas are accepted if it's coming from his heart. One day me and my friend went to a forest to smoke marijuana and snort cocaine. I have smoked 4 times the regular dose of marijuana that unkowingly was laced with heroin. I was confused with the marijuana high drowsy with the heroin but i could not pass out because of the cocaine. My friend was scared i was going to die so he leaves me in the forest at night all alone. So here i am crying screaming hitting trees until my blood was all over my hands. I thought i was dead. But i sat down beside a tree and prayed to god to cure me and that i will never do drugs again. For some reason i got up and started walking in the right path out of the forest it was pitch black and i was clearly lost but because i prayed and prayed i came to a familiar place from there i safely arrived home i have never felt so insane crazy high in my life before if god didn't accept my prayers i would have gone mad and killed myself in that forest.
