What is the ruling on qat?

Question:
I live in the border region, and I have an elderly mother who is ill with diabetes. She eats qat to alleviate the diabetes, and if I do not bring it to her, she gets angry with me. Will I be undutiful to her if I refuse to bring it to her?

Answer:
Answer: You will be undutiful to her if you bring it to her, because qat is forbidden, it is a narcotic, and it has harms that are more severe than those of tobacco; it is more severe than tobacco. Therefore, it is forbidden. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. Neither to the mother nor to anyone else. Do not obey them in disobedience, so do not bring it to her. However, seek a treatment for her. Diabetes has a treatment, and praise be to Allah, a treatment is available in pharmacies and with doctors, and also through diet.
