Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! You mentioned that tobacco is like qat. For one who trades in tobacco, what is the ruling on his spending on himself and his family, and what is the ruling on his charity and his Hajj from the profit of that tobacco?
The Shaykh:
The ruling is one. The ruling. Yes, his trade is forbidden, and it is obligatory for the believer to leave it, to repent for what has passed, to repent for what has gone by of that, and to be cautious in the future. His prayer and his Hajj are all valid; because the basis of prayer is the body, and Hajj is likewise the body, and it is the money,
The questioner:
if the Hajj is from the profit of that tobacco.
The Shaykh:
And the Hajj is valid, and he must repent to Allah for that; he must repent for what he did. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
