Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on using what is called al-ja'ah and al-shamah? He says: And is it considered among intoxicants?
Answer:
It is not among intoxicants, but it is a stupefying substance. It is one of the stupefying substances, so it is a stupefier. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade every intoxicant and every stupefier.
