Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on eating qat? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
It is not permissible to eat or chew qat, because it is an intoxicant, and it is greater than tobacco. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade every intoxicant and narcotic. Qat is not permissible; it is not permissible to use it or chew it. It is not permissible to sell it, nor is it permissible to eat its proceeds. Yes.
