IQ37- Smoking cigarettes

by Mufti Syed Siraj Ul Arifeen Shah · Published Wed 29 Rabi Al Awwal 1446AH 2-10-2024AD · Updated Wed 29 Rabi Al Awwal 1446AH 2-10-2024AD

Question

Is smoking cigarettes haram as it has no benefits and is addictive for many people?

Answer

Generally, smoking cigarettes has a minor dislike attached to it due to the odour it creates in the breath, and due to the bad effects on health. So one should avoid as much as they can. It can’t be haram or illegitimate unless it includes such a substance that will intoxicate, such as weed. 

Going to masjid with the smell emanation from mouth due to smoking is makrooh e tahrimi. 

Fatawa Shaami mentions:

وألف في حله أيضاً سيدنا العارف عبد الغني النابلسي رسالة سماها الصلح بين الإخوان في إباحة شرب الدخان وتعرض له في كثير من تآليفه الحسان وأقام الطامة الكبرى على القائل بالحرمة أو بالكراهة فإنهما حكمان شرعيان لا بد لهما من دليل ولا دليل على ذلك فإنه لم يثبت إسكاره ولا تفتيره ولا إضراره بل ثبت له منافع فهو داخل تحت قاعدة الأصل في الأشياء الإباحة وأن فرض إضراره للبعض لايلزم منه تحريمه على كل أحد فإن العسل يضر بأصحاب الصفراء الغالبة وربما أمرضهم مع أنه شفاء بالنص القطعي

(Fatawa Shaami. v 6, p 459)

Shikh Abdul Ghani naablisi wrote a journal on the permissibility of the smoking and mentioned that as long as there is no intoxication or harm it will be permissible.

من أكل الثوم والبصل والكراث فلا يقربن مسجدنا فإن الملائكة تتأذى مما يتأذى منه بنو آدم ” متفق عليه

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “He who has eaten garlic or onion should keep away from us or our mosques, as angels get harmed by what harms the humans”( Bukhari and Muslim)

 

Thus, while smokign is permissible as long has its not harmful for the health, coming to masjid with the smell in mouth from smoking is not permissible. 

واللہ تعالیٰ  ورسولہ الکریم ﷺ اعلم بالصواب
