The Ruling on Smoking and Its Harms
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: When we advise smokers, they say: It is one of the lightest of sins! What is the Shaykh’s (may Allah preserve him) comment?
Answer:
All sins are forbidden, whether small or large; all sins are forbidden, whether small or large. Therefore, it is obligatory to be cautious of what Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has forbidden. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has forbidden His servants from that which is harmful to them and commanded them to do that which is in their benefit. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1337b And Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says: [Al-Hashr: 7]. This encompasses both minor and major sins. Smoking has great evil and significant corruption for health, religion, wealth, and honor.
Therefore, it is obligatory to be cautious of it. May Allah guide them all. Yes.
The presenter : O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

وََمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُواTherefore, it is obligatory to be cautious of it. May Allah guide them all. Yes.
