Advice to Smokers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Third question, Shaykh, what advice would you give? Shaykh, I see that all the people in the college, Shaykh, and in the streets, all the people smoke, Shaykh. So I want you to give them some advice, Shaykh. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The Shaykh: Not all people smoke, my brother. Some are afflicted with smoking. So you advise them that it is harmful, that there is no good in it, and that it leads to many harms with no benefit in any way. There is absolutely no benefit in smoking; rather, it is pure harm. So there is no doubt in its prohibition. If you see someone using it, advise him, perhaps Allah will benefit him through your advice. Yes.
