Mentioning the evidence of those who permit smoking and refuting it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : They say there is no evidence in the Qur'an that forbids smoking. This is one point.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Second, well, the one who has been growing tobacco for a long time and whose children live off it, where does he get their food from if...
The Shaykh : Poor thing, poor thing...
Another questioner : There is no power nor strength except by Allah.
The Shaykh : Is this a Muslim speaking like that?
The questioner : That is what they say.
The Shaykh : No, this is actually a sick person who must be treated...
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : As for the claim of the one who says there is no text in the Noble Qur'an forbidding smoking, that is ignorance. One should know, and if he does not accept learning, he should be disciplined. And if there is no one to discipline him, his reckoning is with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Why? Because Islam is not just the Qur'an; Islam is the Qur'an and the Sunnah. So whoever believes in the Qur'an and does not believe in the Sunnah is not a Muslim. Because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:[Al-Hashr 59:7] And He says: [An-Nahl 16:44] And He says, and He says, and among that is His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Muwatta Malik 46:3 One, two, It is not in the Qur'an Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam) So because of his ignorance, he opens a door for which he has no strength to close. When he tells you, "This is not forbidden in the Qur'an," this reminds me of a story that happened to an old woman in the time of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). She came to him, concerned about what had reached her about him. She said to him, "Are you the one who says: 'May Allah curse the women who pluck their eyebrows and those who have it done to them'..." to the end of the hadith. He said, "Yes." She said, "Where did you get this from? I read the Book of Allah and I did not find in it what you are saying." He said to her with a calm, satisfied soul, not as a fool, he said to her: "If you had read it, you would have found it." She said: "I have read it and I did not find it." He said to her: "Did you not read the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He): [Al-Hashr 59:7]" She said: "As for this, I have read it." He said: "Then have you not heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: " So not everything that exists in Islam must necessarily be found in the Qur'an, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the Qur'an. Now, we pray five prayers every day: Fajr with two rak'ahs, Zuhr, 'Asr, and 'Isha' with four each, Maghrib deviates from the four times...
The questioner : Three
The Shaykh : Three, then some are secret, some are loud, some are eaten from here and here. Where are the details? They are not in the Qur'an. So this is an ignorant person who says that smoking is not mentioned in the Qur'an. As for the second aspect, which is, "Oh brother, this is an heir to farming from his father and grandfather, and he is feeding his family, children, and sons, and so on," this is also an ignorant person like the first one, or even more so, because he does not know the saying of the Exalted: This is in the Qur'an:[At-Talaq 65:2-3] The Messenger (may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him) says: So I believe that Muslims today need to renew their faith in Allah and His Messenger first, and if there is faith, they need to strengthen it second. And its strengthening is by obeying Allah and staying away from the sins of Allah. And among the sins of Allah is planting something that harms people, because the means has the ruling of the end, and the Messenger (may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him) said: The first of them is and then you have A man who has grape trellises, and I do not say as you farmers say, he has vineyards. It is not permissible for you to say vineyards, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: So a man who has grape trellises, and I do not say vineyard, this Jew or Christian pig wants to buy from him everything this grape produces. At what price?
Another questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : May Allah have mercy on you, at a high price. So when the owner of the trellises knows that this is a customer who wants to take the grapes and press them, he is cursed like his story. Why? Because He said the Exalted:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] And this amount is sufficient...
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Another questioner : That is all.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Second, well, the one who has been growing tobacco for a long time and whose children live off it, where does he get their food from if...
The Shaykh : Poor thing, poor thing...
Another questioner : There is no power nor strength except by Allah.

Because Islam is not just the Qur'an; Islam is the Qur'an and the Sunnah. So whoever believes in the Qur'an and does not believe in the Sunnah is not a Muslim. Because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:
And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from
وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهواAnd We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them
وأنزلنا إليك الذكر لتبين للناس ما نزل إليهمI have left two matters with you. As long as you hold to them, you will not go the wrong way.
تركت فيكم أمرين لن تضلوا ما إن تمسكتم بهماAs long as you hold fast to them
ما إن تمسكتم بهماThe Book of Allah and my Sunnah
كتاب الله وسنتيBreast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.
يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسبAnd whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from
وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهواMay Allah curse the women who pluck their eyebrows and those who have it done to them, the women who tattoo and those who have it done to them, the women who join hair and those who have it done to them, and the women who file their teeth to change the creation of Allah for beauty.
لعن الله النامصات والمتنمصات والواشمات والمستوشمات والواصلات والمستوصلات والفالجات المغيرات لخلق الله للحسنThe questioner : Three
The Shaykh : Three, then some are secret, some are loud, some are eaten from here and here. Where are the details? They are not in the Qur'an. So this is an ignorant person who says that smoking is not mentioned in the Qur'an. As for the second aspect, which is, "Oh brother, this is an heir to farming from his father and grandfather, and he is feeding his family, children, and sons, and so on," this is also an ignorant person like the first one, or even more so, because he does not know the saying of the Exalted: This is in the Qur'an:
And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
ومن يتق الله يجعل له مخرجا ويرزقه من حيث لا يحتسبWhoever leaves something for Allah, Allah will replace it with something better
من ترك شيئا لله عوضه الله خيرا منهMay Allah curse ten people in intoxicants
لعن الله في الخمرة عشرةThe one who drinks it
شاربهاThe one who serves it, the one who fetches it, the one who presses it, and the one who presses it
ساقيها ومستقيها وعاصرها ومعتصرهاLet none of you call grapes a vineyard, for the vineyard is the heart of the believing man, but let him say the trellis, the trellis, or the grape trellises.
لا يسمين أحدكم العنب كرما فإنما الكرم قلب الرجل المؤمن ولكن ليقل الحبلة الحبلة أو عرائش الأعنابAnother questioner : Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : May Allah have mercy on you, at a high price. So when the owner of the trellises knows that this is a customer who wants to take the grapes and press them, he is cursed like his story. Why? Because He said the Exalted:
And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.
وتعاونوا على البر والتقوى ولا تعاونوا على الإثم والعدوانThe questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Another questioner : That is all.
The Shaykh : Yes.
