The Shaykh : In the mosque, no; but outside the mosque, there is no obstacle.
The questioner : Smoking ... .
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : Smoking ... .
The Shaykh : Smoking is worse than onions. If the smoker has a foul smell, we say he does not enter the mosque, because the cause is the same: the cause is that the angels are harmed by what harms people, and this exists in smoking. But I have heard that some smoke differs; some has a foul smell, and some is truly harmful.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Good.
The questioner : ... O Shaykh, some people say there is no adhan ... So is it better for people to announce the iqamah and say ... .
