Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I have a mother who smokes, and if I prevent her from smoking, she gets angry at me and causes big problems, and she wants to go out to buy it. She is mentally ill. He says: What should I do with her? And is it permissible for me to buy this for her?
Answer:
This is a sin, and there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. But advise her and explain to her the harms of smoking, and say: This is a sin, it is not permissible, it is harmful to you and your health, and it is impure. Perhaps she will be convinced and leave it. Yes.
