Question:
So finally, he asks: What is your opinion on smoking? Because some people say: Give me evidence from the Qur'an or the Sunnah that smoking is forbidden.
Answer:
My brother, praise be to Allah, the evidence is present. Allah the Exalted said in describing His Prophet:[Al-A'raf 7:157] Do you say that smoking is among the good things or among the bad things? You must say that it is among the bad things. Since it is among the bad things, the Qur'an forbids the bad things. You know that it is bad; if you say that smoking is not bad, that is stubbornness. You know that it is bad in its taste, its smell, and its effect on the body. You know that it is bad, so do not be stubborn and say it is not bad. It is clearly bad, and it is forbidden. Yes.

makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil
وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ
