Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on one who swore to quit smoking and then returned to it? And he said that if he returns to smoking, he is outside of what was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
Answer:
Yes. If he returns to it after having sworn to quit it, two things are required of him. First, he must pay the expiation for his oath. Second, he must repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and quit smoking. There is no good in smoking in any way whatsoever. It is pure harm with no benefit in it. It is harmful, and it also causes great harm. Yes.
