The answer is #1 Prohibited Alcohol and #4 Prohibited cannabis and hashish.

Islam is opposed to the use of any drugs except for those which are medically prescribed. According to their Prophet Muhammad - Every intoxicant is Khamr (alcohol) and all Khamr is Haram (unlawful or not permitted). They see alcohol and psychoactive drugs as satanic devices used to sway people away from the word of Allah (God). In Islam followers are allowed to smoke tobacco but do not accept the use of opium unless it is in the form or medically prescribed morphine.
