The Reason Why Smoking Is Haraam by feranmmie(m): 3:18pm On Apr 03, 2016 |
Asalam Alaekum waramotullahi wabarakatuhu.
Praise be to Allaah.
Perhaps you know that all nations of the world – Muslim
and kaafir alike – have now started to fight smoking,
because they know that it is very harmful. Islam forbids
everything that is harmful, because the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There
should be no harming or reciprocating harm.”
Undoubtedly there are foods and drinks which are
beneficial and good, and others which are harmful and
bad. Allaah described our Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) in the following terms
(interpretation of the meaning):
“he allows them as lawful At Tayyibaat (i.e. all good and
lawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and
foods), and prohibits them as unlawful Al Khabaa’ith
(i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds,
beliefs, persons and foods)
[al-A’raaf 7:157]
Is smoking one of the good and lawful things (al-
tayyibaat) or one of the evil and unlawful things (al-
khabaa’ith)?
Secondly: it was narrated that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah forbids
you to trade gossip, to ask too many questions and to
waste money.” And Allaah forbade wasteful extravagance
when He said (interpretation of the meaning):
“and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance,
certainly He (Allaah) likes not Al Musrifoon (those who
waste by extravagance) [al-A’raaf 7:31]
And He described the slaves of the Most Merciful as
follows (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those who, when they spend, are neither
extravagant nor niggardly, but hold a medium (way)
between those (extremes)” [al-Furqaan 25:67]
The whole world now knows that the money spent on
smoking is to be considered as money wasted, from
which no benefit is gained; indeed, it is money spent on
something harmful. If the money which is spent on
smoking worldwide were to be collected, it could have
saved entire populations who have died of starvation. Is
there anyone more foolish that one who holds a dollar
bill and sets fire to it? What is the difference between
him and the one who smokes? Indeed, the smoker is
more foolish, because the folly of the one who burns a
dollar bill ends there, whilst the one who smokes burns
his money and also harms his body.
Thirdly: how many disasters have been caused by
smoking, because of cigarette butts which are thrown
away and cause fires. Other disasters have been caused
in other ways, as when a house was burned down with
its occupants inside, when a man lit his cigarette when
there was a gas leak.
Fourthly: how many people are offended by the smell of
smokers, especially when you are unfortunate enough to
have one of them standing next to you in the mosque.
Probably any nasty smell is easier to bear than the smell
of the smoker’s mouth when he has just woken up. It is
amazing how many women can put up with the smell of
their husbands’ mouths! The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade those who had
eaten garlic or onions from coming to the mosque so
that they would not offend their fellow-worshippers with
their smell. The smell of onions and garlic is easier to
bear than the smell of the smoker and his mouth.
These are some of the reasons why smoking is haraam.
