Does smoking invalidate the Hajj?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner from the Arab Republic of Egypt asks: Does smoking during the Hajj, while a person is in the state of ihram, invalidate that Hajj and cause it to be rejected?
Answer:
Smoking is not permissible, and it has many harms. It is not permissible to smoke, neither during the Hajj nor otherwise. One must abandon it. However, smoking during the Hajj or the 'Umrah does not invalidate the 'Umrah, but it is a deficiency; a deficiency in the reward. Otherwise, the Hajj is valid, and the 'Umrah is valid, even if one is smoking. But it is obligatory to abandon smoking, just as it is obligatory to abandon drinking intoxicants and narcotics. The believer must beware of narcotics, intoxicants, and smoking all together; because Allah has forbidden them. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
