The questioner:
What is the ruling on one who enters the Haram and performs tawaf around the Ka'bah while having a pack of cigarettes in his pocket?
The Shaykh:
Do not use photography, my brother. We do not permit photography; it is forbidden for you. Yes.
The questioner:
What is the ruling on one who enters the Haram and performs tawaf around the Ka'bah while having a pack of cigarettes in his pocket?
The Shaykh:
Smoking is forbidden. If he wants to enter the Haram or anywhere else, it is forbidden; he must leave it and stay away from it. However, sin in the Haram is more severe than sin outside the Haram. In any case, he must repent to Allah from smoking and leave it in any place, whether in the East, the West, the Haram, or elsewhere, because it is harmful and abominable, and it has many harms. It is a cause of serious diseases.
