The Ruling on Smoking and Anger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a smoker and I lose my temper when talking to others, including my wife and children, and also my mother. Will I be held accountable for that?
Answer:
Yes. First, this smoke is harmful to you and your health, and it affects you negatively. It makes people dislike sitting with you; they hate your company and your foul smell. So, you should hold yourself back from this baseness and consuming this harmful, impure substance that has bound you to it. You cannot be free of it except through repentance and sincere resolve, so stay away from it.
Second, anger: what you mentioned is due to anger. If you feel anger,[An-Nahl 16:98] and it will go away from you, by the permission of Allah. [Al-A'raf 7:200] He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. Seek refuge in Allah, and the anger will go away from you, by the permission of Allah. Do not rush, and control your nerves until you calm down. Yes.

فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِAnd if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ
