Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some fasting people who smoke believe that smoking during the day in Ramadan is not one of the things that break the fast, because it is not eating or drinking?
Answer:
If he inhales the smoke, whether it is from tobacco or from anything else, with the intention of inhaling it, it breaks his fast, because the smoke rises to his brain; the smoke rises to his brain and agitates the blood, so it is not permissible for him to do that. This is from one aspect. From another aspect, smoking is forbidden; it is forbidden to use it because it is harmful, because it has a foul smell, because it has no benefit, no benefit at all, but rather it has pure harm. Yes.
