Question:
He says: Is there any advice for those performing 'Umrah and others who smoke in Makkah and around the Haram?
Answer:
They must have mercy on themselves, because smoking is a torment; they torment themselves with it. It is a derivative of fire, may Allah protect us from it. How is it that a person puts smoke into his stomach? If smoke were put into a house or a room, the room would be stained and affected.
So how about the one who puts it into his stomach? The harm of smoke is evident on the body and health, the smell is foul and harmful, so no one doubts that smoking is forbidden. It is also a means of wasting money without benefit; there is not one benefit in a thousand or in a million, there is no benefit at all, only pure harm. It is foul in taste, foul in smell, and harmful to people. So you must have mercy on yourself and repent from this deadly affliction. Yes.
