Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person uses a treatment applied externally to his body, which consists of the nicotine found in tobacco and cigarettes. Is this permissible?
Answer:
If this is true, this is a matter to be asked of the specialized doctors. I think this is essentially what they do; they make this patch, saying that it reduces or helps in quitting smoking. It is a type of treatment because it contains some of the medicines that pass through the pores of the body, so that a person quits smoking. If this is true according to the doctors, there is nothing wrong with using it. Yes.
