Ruling on Distributing Cigarettes During Condolences

His final question, O Shaykh, is: What is the ruling on offering cigarettes along with what is offered after people come to offer condolences for the deceased? May Allah guide you, we thank you, and we value your efforts.
Answer: It is not permissible for the family of the deceased or anyone else to offer cigarettes or intoxicants to people; rather, this is a forbidden abomination. Cigarettes are forbidden and intoxicants are forbidden, so the family of the deceased has no right to offer what Allah has forbidden to their visitors and those offering condolences. This is not permissible; it is cooperation in sin and aggression. However, there is nothing wrong with offering coffee, tea, or a good drink. But offering cigarettes, intoxicants, hashish, or intoxicating and narcotic pills is all not permissible; rather, this is cooperation in sin and aggression. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has forbidden this. We ask Allah for guidance for everyone. Yes.
