Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling if my father or my brother sends me to buy tobacco for him? Do I obey him in that or disobey him? And what is your guidance in this matter?
Answer:
Do not obey him in disobedience and cooperation in sin and transgression. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 3696. So buying tobacco is disobedience, so do not obey anyone, even if he is your father, because this is disobedience, and there is no obedience in disobedience; obedience is only in what is good. Yes. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
