Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a smoker pray while the cigarette is in his pocket?
Answer:
Yes, he prays. That is, he leaves off the prayer in addition to the cigarette; he does not pray. He prays and repents from the cigarette. The cigarette is not impure; it is not impure. It is forbidden, but it is not impure. So if he prays while carrying a cigarette, his prayer is valid, but he commits a sin by smoking the cigarette and by carrying it and transporting it with him. He commits a sin by doing so.
