Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on trading in tobacco along with other permissible goods?
Answer:
It is not permissible to sell tobacco because it is forbidden. It is forbidden, without doubt. After the analyses and medical examinations appeared. At first, some people said it was disliked. Some said it was permissible because the default is permissibility. But when the medical analyses appeared and it became clear that tobacco is harmful to health, and that it has no benefit in any way, no one doubted its prohibition, or that it is forbidden. And if it is forbidden, then it is not permissible to sell it, nor to bring it in, nor to consume its price. Yes.
