Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Who? He smoked.
Answer : If he smoked and has an unpleasant smell that harms people, because smoke varies; some of it does not have a foul smell, while some does. I think the cheap kind has a foul smell, and the expensive kind does not. Yes, relatively speaking, everything is relative. Yes, the scent of roses is harmful in a small amount, and the scent of dung is tolerated in a large amount. Yes, so the matter is relative. In any case, the smell of smoke harms most people in most cases. So if this man knows that he has a smell that harms the worshippers, it is not permissible for him to harm them and come to them. Is that clear?
And this may have a benefit in that this man who smokes, when he sees himself deprived of the congregational prayer, it may be a cause for his repentance from it, his repentance from it. And this is a benefit that may be considered regarding the smoker.
