Advice for Smoking Pilgrims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, it is observed that some pilgrims smoke heavily while in the state of ihram. What is your advice to them?
Answer:
Our advice to them is to leave this evil thing. Smoking is evil and harmful, and it has no benefit in any way. However, it is an ugly habit that has enslaved many of those who have been afflicted with it. So the Muslim should repent to Allah, whether he is a pilgrim or not. Repent to Allah and leave this evil substance. Save yourself, save yourself from this evil enslavement. Repent to Allah and leave it, turning to Allah in repentance, and do not return to it. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) will help him in that.
So it is forbidden for the one in ihram and for the one not in ihram. Whether he is in his country, in Makkah, or in any place, it is forbidden for the Muslim because it is harmful and evil, and there is no benefit in it. And there is extravagance in spending, because he spends money on buying smoking without benefit. He does not benefit from it; rather, he is harmed by it. So he is buying harm for himself, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
