The Ruling on Smoking During Hajj

Question:
May Allah reward you. Abu Basam says: Some pilgrims, may Allah increase them in good, smoke. What is the ruling on that? Does it invalidate their Hajj? Smoking

Answer:
is forbidden in Hajj and in other times, because it is harmful by the consensus of doctors, because it has a foul smell, because it has no benefit, but rather it is harmful, and because it causes incurable diseases. This is established among doctors, even among the disbelieving states, which warn against smoking and require the manufacturing companies to write on the packaging that it is harmful to health. Since it is so, there is no doubt about its prohibition for the pilgrim and for others. However, if the pilgrim smokes, his sin is greater because he is in a state of worship, so he should not commit a sin while in that state. Also, the pilgrim causes discomfort to the other pilgrims and the people with him in the car or in the plane or in the street. If the smoker smokes in the street, or if his whole family smokes, how much more so if he smokes in a car, in a house, or in a room? The matter is more severe. But these smokers have no modesty, no honor, and no concern for others. This indicates the foulness of smoking and that it is an ugly habit that removes the sense of shame, so that a person does not feel ashamed of harming others or of respecting others. Yes.
