The ruling on smoking cigarettes after performing wudu'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, does smoking cigarettes after performing wudu' invalidate anything of the prayer?

Answer:
No, this is a sin. Smoking is a sin because it is harmful and has a foul smell, and it has no benefit in any way. It has no benefit at all. As long as it is pure harm, its smell is foul, and it affects health, why would you consume it while you are a sane Muslim? You must avoid it. What you have of good and permissible things, such as fruits, meats, and others, is sufficient.
Allah has made us independent of these impure things. He has made us independent of the good things
makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evilوَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ
[Al-A'raf 7:157]
. No one says that smoking is among the good things, ever. Everyone says smoking is among the impure things. As long as it is among the impure things, it is forbidden. Yes.

May Allah bless you,
