Question:
Some of the disobedient say that there is no explicit evidence from the Qur'an regarding the prohibition of smoking?
Answer:
Tell him: Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has forbidden the impure things. Is this an impure thing or a good one? [Al-Ma'idah: 4], and He said in describing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): [Al-A'raf: 157]. Furthermore, the doctors have agreed, and the people have agreed, that its harms are great, that it causes many diseases, and much evil, and that a great number of people die because of it. These harms demonstrate its impurity—may Allah grant us safety—but desire blinds.

They ask you, [O Muhammad], what has been made lawful for them. Say, "Lawful for you are [all] good foods
يَسْأَلُونَكَ مَاذَا أُحِلَّ لَهُمْ قُلْ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُmakes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil
وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ
