Evidence for the Prohibition of Smoking
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What are the evidence for the prohibition of smoking?
Answer:
The Shaykh: Smoke, my brother, is foul and harmful. It is harmful to health, harmful to the body. It has a foul smell that annoys people, and those around it are affected by it. Its effect is visible on the smoker; you see his color changed and his smell putrid. It is pure harm, so it is among the foul things. And Allah the Exalted said in describing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):[Al-A'raf 7:157] And smoke is foul. No one ever says that it is among the good things, except a person who is in denial. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
