The ruling on one who breaks his fast in Ramadan by intentionally smoking
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: If one intentionally breaks his fast in Ramadan by smoking tobacco, is making up the fast sufficient, or is something else required of him?
Answer:
It is forbidden for him to smoke in Ramadan and in other times, because smoke is harmful, foul, and of no benefit, and it harms the smoker and others. It is obligatory for the Muslim to leave it and stay away from it in Ramadan and in other times. However, if the fasting person does it and smokes while fasting, his fast is invalid because he has introduced something of the smoke into his stomach, and his fast is thereby invalidated. Whether he intentionally inhales it or intentionally smokes it, his fast is invalid. This is by the consensus of the scholars. The verse. Ahm.
So he should not be lenient in this matter. But if he did it, he owes nothing except making up the fast and repenting to Allah. He must repent to Allah and not return to it, and he must make up the fast for that day. He owes no expiation. Yes.
