Buying Tobacco for the Father
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My father is a smoker, and he asks me to buy him cigarettes. I object and never buy them for him, but he keeps asking. What is the ruling on my action?
Answer:
Do not buy him cigarettes, because this is cooperation in sin and aggression. This is disobedience, and there is no obedience to any created being in disobedience to the Creator. So do not obey him, even if he becomes angry. He is the one who is wrong, not you. You are on the right path, and he is on the wrong path. Yes.
