Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be on His Prophet SAWS.

Smoking is one of the things which has caused a lot of problems and harm these days and it has spread like wild fire. Before we discuss this topic in detail, we should know that Allaah the Almighty has divided things in the world into two types, good or permissible (al-tayyibaat, al-halaal) and evil or prohibited (al-khabaa'ith, al-haraam), and there is no third type. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning) in surat al-A'raaf (7:157):

"And He makes good things halaal for them and bad things haraam."

Considering this fact, smoking can either be permissible and good or prohibited and evil.

Thus, we present some of its characteristics and let the person asking the question see himself in which type lies smoking.

There is no disagreement among the physicians and sane people that smoking is harmful for health. It is one of the major causes of lung cancer and other diseases. It is also one of the major causes of death. Since, it is known that the Islamic law prohibits everything that is harmful for a human being. Allah said (interpretation of meaning):
"Do not kill yourself. Allah is Merciful unto you." (Surat al-Nisaa' 4:29)

In addition, His Prophet SAWS (peace be upon him) said:

"There is no harm or causing of harm (in Islaam)." (Arabic "laa darar wa laa diraar"

He SAWS (peace be upon him) also said:

"A person will not be able to move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about ... his body as to what he engaged it in.

Smoking also goes against the saying of the Prophet SAWS:

"Your body has a right on you."

There is no disagreement among the physicians and sane people that smoking is harmful for the health of others who inhale the polluted breath of the smoker. Medical research has proven the harmful effects of smoking mothers on their children. The offensive smell caused by smoking is a source of pain to the worshippers of Allah among humans and angels. The angels are offended and suffer from the same things that the human beings suffer from. Allah said (interpretation of the meaning):
"Those who cause harm to believing men and women without any reason do a great sin." (Surat al-Ahzaab, 33:58)

The money that is spent on cigarettes is used on buying a harmful thing and is therefore an extravagance. Allah said (interpretation of the meaning):

"… and do not be extravagant wasters. Those who are extravagant are kinsmen of Satan." (Surat al-Israa' 17:26-27)

Extravagance (in Islam) means spending on something haraam.

Spending money on cigarettes is a waste of resources as well. The Prophet SAWS (peace be upon him) said:

"A person will not be able to move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about ..... what he owned as to how he spent it."

Considering all that has been presented, it can be clearly seen that smoking is an evil among many others. It is not permissible to indulge in it, or buy and sell it, or even to offer it to others. It is incumbent on a person who is addicted to it that he must make all efforts and get whatever necessary treatment to stop it. If the unbelievers have understood the harm caused by smoking and made laws regarding it, the Muslims should be even more eager to stop it and treat those who are addicted to it.

We ask Allah the Almighty to cure everyone indulging in this evil and help him in giving it up. Allah is the Best Guide to the Right Path.

# First, as you can read islamqa.info submissions, there is absolutely no direct ayah (verse of the Qur'an) or exclusive saying of Nabi that ruled cigarette smoking haram. The website only present her own ijtihaad. Therefore, it is very wrong to rule it as HARAM.

Interestingly, there are other Muslim scholars that ruled it Makrooh (what should be avoided but if done, its not haram). This is more correct.


# Second, Qur'an is very clear in its ruling on "khamr - intoxicant" to be HARAM. Therefore, anything that affects intellect whereby one loses his senses, its consumption becomes HARAM. This is never a case for cigarette smoking.


# Third, islamqa.info trying to rule on the fact that cigarette smoking could be dangerous to one's health is not a genuine justifications at all. For a fact, there are lots of things like fat, sugar etc that could also be dangerous to one health yet they are never haram.

* Smoking, sugar, fat etc could be specifically ruled "haram" for some individuals (whose health cannot or no longer support it) but never in general.

* Truly some people's health get deteriorated as a result of smoking while some have no problem with it health wise. I have an uncle of 80+ years, a retired soldier; and he started smoking in his early 20s. He's still very active today.


# Again, cigarette smoking is not and cannot be ruled Haraam. Ruling it Makrooh is more to the truth. Interestingly, Arab-Muslim world is among most rated in cigarette smoking. Lebanon take the lead in Arab world. Follow by Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, then Iraq. Really, cigarette smoking is one habit that should be discourage in our society.

AlBaqir, what is your stand? because our evidences were so cleared.

Why do we do this to our selves? wake up from religion and face real life because you are no better than an addict.
cocaine and LSD gives you the same feeling even if you know deep down this fantasy you are living in does not exist.


WAKE UP......

ajibolabd:
Islam is Haram, mohammed is a terrorist.

Hope you remember to use your drug, it seems u are gradually going mad again. You have been commenting negatively on all the Islamic thread. What's your problem?

ajibolabd:
Islam is Haram, mohammed is a terrorist.

U have no right to come here and insult our noble prophet, I believe the religion u practise doesn't give u right to insult ur fellow human being, u people find it easier while Muslims stay away from ur tread to show ur act of provocation on Muslim treads,

ajibolabd:
Islam is Haram, mohammed is a terrorist.

Bros, i wonder what the two subjects did to offend you....ISLAM was in existence b4 u were born and Prophet Muhammad (S.A.A) left this world b4 they thought of conceiving you...Be mindful of ur utterances...Anybody could be of help to you some day...

Perhaps a one more time read will do. My stand is crystal clear.

because our evidences were so cleared.

# Please who's that "our"? And what's "so clear" in something there is no SINGLE ayah of the Qur'an or hadith or consensus (of ulama) that declared it HARAM?!

Cigarette smoking is only Makrooh, never HARAM.

what about cannabis ?it benefits outweighs it's negativity

May Allah grant us understanding!

Smoking is harmful to health! It is gradual suicide. It kills eventually!

Things containing any considerably harmful ingredients, because the basic principle with regard to harmful substances is that they are prohibited, and they are not included in the rule that in principle everything is permissible.

Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“and do not throw yourselves into destruction”

[al-Baqarah 2:195]

“And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you”

[an-Nisa’ 4:29].

It was narrated from Abu Sa‘eed al-Khudri (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.” Narrated by al-Haakim (2/57-58). He said: Its isnaad is saheeh according to the conditions of Muslim. It was also classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth as-Saheehah (1/498)

Smoking is harmful and Haram!

Regarding your submission, it is crystal clear that you're contradicting yourself .

Why not saying boo to a goose ?

Smoking kills slowly but surely.
