The Quran itself does not specify a fixed punishment such as 40 lashes for drinking wine. Instead, it declares intoxicants (including wine) as sinful and commands believers to avoid them (e.g., Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:90). The specific legal punishment for drinking wine is derived from Hadith and Islamic jurisprudence, where the consensus among scholars is that the hadd punishment is flogging, typically 80 lashes for a free adult, with some opinions allowing 40 lashes or leaving the exact number to the ruler's discretion. Therefore, the Quran does not prescribe a specific punishment like 40 lashes; such punishments come from prophetic traditions and juristic consensus, not directly from the Quranic text. Hence, the correct answer to the question as phrased (punishment according to the Quran) is 'None of these'.

Surah Al-Ankaboot translates to 'The Spider' in English, as the word 'Ankaboot' means spider in Arabic. This is the correct meaning of the Surah's name.
