The Ruling on Smoking and the Hookah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And the last question: What is the ruling on smoking and the hookah? And what is the evidence for their prohibition, given that they do not cause their user to lose his mind?
Answer:
It was mentioned in the previous lesson that both the hookah and smoking are forbidden, and they have many harms. A person may become dizzy if he smokes them after a long period; he may become dizzy and fall from his mount, among other things, along with their many harms.
They have great harms that doctors have confirmed, harming his body, his chest, and other parts. They have many harms, and for that reason, they are among the forbidden things. It is not permissible to smoke them, sell them, buy them, or import them. We ask Allah for health for everyone, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
