I ask that you remind our Muslim brothers of the evidence for the prohibition of smoking?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I ask that you remind our Muslim brothers of the evidence for the prohibition of smoking, O honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh : There are treatises written by those who wrote among the contemporary scholars and those who came before them after the use of this tobacco began. The questioner should refer to them. Recently, doctors have unanimously agreed on the harm of this tobacco and that it is a cause of incurable diseases such as cancer. We ask Allah for safety.
Therefore, we advise all our Muslim brothers to stay away from smoking it, because it involves wasting money, ruining one's condition, and diseases that are incurable even for doctors. We have seen those whom Allah protected from it after they were afflicted with it, and we found that their health, energy, and strength increased, and their money was saved from the loss it was suffering before they repented to Allah.
