Question:
He says: May Allah guide me to righteousness. Six months ago I was guided to the straight path, but I am suffering from a problem, which is my love for smoking. I know that I have not smoked since I became righteous, so what is your advice to me?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. As long as you have not smoked and have left this evil substance, you must continue to leave it. Even if you feel inclined toward it, do so in obedience to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. With leaving it and persisting in leaving it, your inclination toward it will go away, if Allah wills. You must be patient. You must be patient until this love and inclination disappear.
