Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our Shaykh, I have a person with me who smokes cigarettes, and I advised him, but he continues. Is there anything required of me? Knowing that, Your Eminence the Shaykh, we see some people performing 'Umrah in the state of ihram who smoke, so what is the ruling?
Answer:
Smoke is a sin and forbidden, and they are sinful for it, but it does not invalidate the ihram. However, it diminishes the reward, and they sin against it. You should advise this person, perhaps Allah will guide him. Explain to him its harms and the dangers of smoke, and repeat the advice to him, perhaps Allah will guide him. Yes.
