The Ruling on Eating Qir and Qas
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on eating qir and qas, because some people say that qir is of no consequence?
Answer:
As for qir, I do not know it; I am not aware of it. As for qas, it is forbidden (haram). It is more severe than tobacco. Qas is a corrupting substance more severe than tobacco, so its prohibition is more severe than the prohibition of tobacco. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
