The Ruling on Smoking and the Claim of Hypocrisy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a young man who fasts on Mondays and Thursdays and comes to the Sacred Precinct, but I am afflicted with smoking. Am I a hypocrite?
Answer:
This is a sin. You are not a hypocrite, but you are a sinner. Not every sinner is a hypocrite. You must repent to Allah and stop smoking, for there is no good in it. It is harmful to health, foul-smelling, and unpleasant in taste. It has no benefit in any way; it is pure harm. So repent to Allah, leave it, and seek help from Allah. Yes.
