The ruling on one who died as a result of smoking
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah guide you. A person says: A man passed away from cancer, and the cause was his smoking of cigarettes and cigars. Is the deceased considered to have drunk poison and killed himself, such that he would be among the people of the Fire?
Answer:
He is considered a sinner, he is considered a sinner, and we hope for him mercy and forgiveness, as long as he is from the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and from the people of faith in Allah and His Messenger, he is a believer, a believing sinner. And Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, forgives the believing men and women. He is not considered one who drank poison and killed himself, because he did not intend this, he did not intend this, rather Satan and desire led him into sin, and he did not intentionally kill himself. The one who drinks poison intentionally kills himself, but this man did not intend this thing, but he fell into sins, so he is a sinner and a transgressor, and he is under the forgiveness of Allah and the will of Allah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
