The Evidence for the Prohibition of Smoking and the Explanation of the Hatred of Disbelievers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how does one respond to the one who says that he did not find a text in the Qur'an or the Sunnah regarding the love of disbelievers? How is the response to him?

Answer:
It is not necessary. For every forbidden thing, a text is not required by name; a verse is not sent down from the sky saying, "Indeed, smoke is forbidden." It is not necessary. However, it is mentioned in the Qur'an:
prohibits for them the evilوَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ
[Al-A'raf 7:157]
makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evilوَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ
[Al-A'raf 7:157]
So, do you place smoke with the good things, or with the bad things? Say, "Be patient." You must place it with the bad things. And as long as it is with the bad things, it is forbidden. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
