Is smoking haram?

[momed]

Hello everyone. I am doing a homework for school and want to ask some questions about my religion and get good answers.

My question is: Is smoking haram?

If no, why and according to who?

If yes, why and how do you know that?

Today i know many people who are good muslims who do all their prays, zakat and more but they still smoke.

The Islaamic Ruling on Smoking by Muhammad bin Saalih al-'Uthaimeen




O people! Fear Allaah and make use of what He has made lawful for you and beware of what He has prohibited. He left nothing which is good without making it lawful out of His grace, and nothing which is evil except that he prohibited it out of His mercy. So, just as He conferred upon you the bounty of making the good lawful, He also conferred upon you the bounty of making the evil prohibited. People should therefore offer praise to Him for both cases by willingly taking the lawful things and shunning the prohibited saying: 'we hear and obey.'



O people! Nowadays smoking has spread to every section of our society, even to young boys in the markets and in their homes. No one can deny the harmful effects that it has on one's body, financial condition, society and religion. As to its effects on the body, it weakens the body and heart and leads to diseases that might even lead to death such as cancer, cough and tuberculosis. This fact is confirmed by specialised scientists and reports issued by the World Health Organisation and also by the status quo. How many are the people who have weakened their bodies and health, and may kill themselves due to this habit of smoking? Do not be deceived by smokers who might appear to be of strong stature; unlike their outward appearance, they are not healthy in light of their lack appetite, the condition of their lungs, coughs, tuberculosis and feebleness which might be felt upon very little exertion. If they give up smoking then they will regain some of their health which they have lost as a result of smoking.



As for the effect on their financial condition, just ask any of them about the money that they expend daily on smoking, which, if spent on what is beneficial for a person and his family such as good food, drink, clothes, etc., would be of much benefit for ones religion and worldly life. Rather, a smoker uses up most of his money on this vain pursuit which only adds to his immediate and deferred injuries. We seek Allaahýs guidance for us and for them.



As for the traders who earn money from buying and selling such items and become wealthy after being poor and rich after being needy, then these are all ill-gotten gains and sinfulness. Such people are rich financial terms but very poor in their hearts; wealthy in this world but have nothing in the Hereafter, due to these ill-gotten gains which they made in this worldly life. They do not know when death will come to them forcing them to leave their wealth to their heirs while their hearts still long for it. Indeed poverty is better than wealth gained by disobeying Allaah.



As to the effects of smoking on the community, it diffuses social diseases that spread corruption amongst society, but most smokers do not care about the spread of this phenomenon among people; in fact they may actually enjoy seeing it spread among people to entertain and ease their own disastrous lifestyle. Therefore, they intentionally smoke in public before the youth, who become accustomed to this bad habit and regard it as a normal practice of the community. This leads to the inevitable outcome of the youth indulging in this fad to the extent that they rapidly become addicted to it. How many are the diseases that afflict those who use the remnants of cigarettes which are thrown in streets and public places!



As for its consequences on one's religion, most scholars, who are pure of all maladies and are well versed in the rulings of Islaamic Law, know for certain it's prohibition from the Islaamic texts and principles of Islaamic jurisprudence. Smoking is disobedience of Allaah and His Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam and disobedience opposes faith, which decreases by committing sins just as it increases by doing good.



O Muslims! Those upon whom Allaah has conferred His bounty of being protected against this habit should praise Him for this bounty and ask Him for steadfastness and to protect his brothers who are plagued with this addiction so that they may give it up. They should also ask Allaah repeatedly to guard them and approach all possible means that might help others to shun it such as having a strong will, avoiding the places where this vice is practiced and replacing it with that which Allaah has made lawful of food and drink, for Allaah has made lawful any gate that might lead to good. They should also think of the affairs of those whom Allaah has released from the fetters of this habit and to what extent they regained their health and recovered from the diseases that afflicted them because of this addiction - surely all praise is due to Allaah.



Allaah says that which means: O you who have believed! Eat from the good [i.e., lawful] things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allaah, if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.ý (Al-Baqarah: 172)

The Prophet sallalahu'alai'hi wassalam is reported to have said, "Do not harm yourselves or others".

Hello everyone. I am doing a homework for school and want to ask some questions about my religion and get good answers.

My question is: Is smoking haram?

If no, why and according to who?

If yes, why and how do you know that?

Today i know many people who are good muslims who do all their prays, zakat and more but they still smoke.

Since neither smoking nor tobacco were yet known at the time the Qur'an was revealed and the Ahadith were written, we have to analyze just what smoking is.

1. Smoking is the deliberate act of intaking the smoke of a plant into our lungs.

2. It is done to create a euphoric or pleasuable effect or the result of peer pressure

3. It can and often does have a narcotic or intoxicating effect depending upon the substance being inhaled

4. It can become a lifelong habit that is difficult to stop

5. It serves no known health benefit

6. It is known to cause injury to the body

7. It can be very expensive and does not seem to offer any needed benefits

Now if we find that if even one of those statements is haram, we have to conclude that smoking is haram. Statement number 6 seems to be haram based upon what Brother Sabr posted in a previous reply. If we agree that Statement 6 is true and Brother Sabr's post is true. What is the conclusion we can reach about smoking?

[momed]

Thank you for all your answers.

[Trumble]

Today i know many people who are good muslims who do all their prays, zakat and more but they still smoke.

That's true of many religions, including mine, which specifically prohibits taking or dealing in what these days we would call 'recreational drugs'. Tobacco was unknown in India in the Buddha's time, of course, but the prohibition is general. The trouble is, though, that good Buddhists are no more perfect people than good muslims; we are neither Prophet nor Buddha. Tobacco is very addictive, and not smoking once you've started can be immensely difficult for some people, no matter how strong their motivation.

[CosmicPathos]

You do not need any religion to tell you that smoking is haram.

90% of people with lung cancer are/were smokers. If you value your life honestly, destroy that pack you have in your pocket.

Unquote.

Hang on to your seats, everybody. You are about to read a very unconventional viewpoint on smoking.

1. Smoking is the deliberate act of intaking the smoke of a plant into our lungs.

If this is haram, then the very act of using an internal combustion engine would be haram. Why? Such an engine produces carbon monoxide which is a deadly gas. Deadly as in if you inhale it, you are dead.

2. It is done to create a euphoric or pleasuable effect or the result of peer pressure

If this is haram, then even something innocuous like drinking coffee would be haram.

3. It can and often does have a narcotic or intoxicating effect depending upon the substance being inhaled

If this is haram, then perfume would be haram.

4. It can become a lifelong habit that is difficult to stop

If this is haram, then drinking coffee would be haram.

5. It serves no known health benefit

If this is haram, then wearing a necktie would be haram.

6. It is known to cause injury to the body

If this is haram because of what is "known to cause injury", then, depending on which scientific study you prefer to refer to, even something like sunshine would be haram.

7. It can be very expensive and does not seem to offer any needed benefits

If this haram, then buying brand-name products would be haram.

Seriously, I do not personally encourage anyone to smoke. There are many other undesirable side effects other than the seven listed above. However, consider this:

In the countries which I have resided in, Malaysia and Thailand, the anti-smoking campaign has only produced the following results:

1. There was no reduction in the number of smokers or the number of cigarettes sold.
2. There was an astronomical increase in the price of cigarettes.

Please note that there was no increase in the cost of production of the cigarettes. So guess who is making all the extra profit? Want to guess further whether the extra profit is being used to help Muslims or kill Muslims?

So I suggest that we take a low-key approach to handling this issue. I don't see any reason to help enrich the multinational tobacco companies which, as far as I can see, have not been known to be friendly to Islam, and are more than likely to be channeling the extra profit to funding the war against Islam.

Please keep in mind that this is a very unconventional viewpoint on smoking. Take it with a big handful of salt but do give it a thought.

[Ubeyde]

There was a big dispute in Malaysia I believe quite recently about making smoking haraam. In the end they had to say that it isn't and that it is an undeserible action because the opposition of the youth was so fierce.

However, I believe that smoking does constitute to one sinning and is therefore, Haraam.

One of the main problems and occurences with those that smoke is that they move on to "Harder" drugs, i.e. Cannabis, Ectasy, etc. If you look at the national statistics of any nation about those who do "Hard" drugs, 9 out of 10 of them would be smokers.

Also, there is a nother problem with those who smoke. They directly effect those around them in a very, very serious manner. The smoke in which a smoker exhales is far worse than what the smoker is initially inhaling. That means that "Passive Smokers and Passive Smoking" is a very serious matter. This is due to when the smoker initially inhales, most of the harmful vapours aren't absorbed by the body of the smoker, they are exhaled out to the immediate enviroment. So, those who breathe in passive smoke are actually breathing in something which is far more toxic to the body than the smoker is.. That is why there are so many cases of diseases like cancer being rampent among people who don't smoke but are from a family or neighborhood that smoke..

So, the next time you feel like smoking, remember that you are not only causing harm to yourself, you are actually causing harm to those around you, those you love and care for...

Jazakarallah and peace to everyone :)

When you use an engine your aim is not to inhale the gases it produces.

Hello everyone. I am doing a homework for school and want to ask some questions about my religion and get good answers.

My question is: Is smoking haram?

[

My son, smoked salmon is not haram

[Azim285]

My son, smoked salmon is not haram

loool...

on a serious note the answer to his question is very easy

Smoking Kills and in Islam you are prohibited of harming yourself ... I think thats enough

[Ummu Sufyaan]

:sl:
i would consider the people around you who have to inhale the smoke your cigarette is producing.

[User29123]

Some people say it is so say it is not, but what about weed or cocaine? would you take that no? because you probably know it is forbidden in Islam, so same applies with smoking...

[إحسان]

Here's an interesting read on this particular topic: credit iloveallaah blog!

Is smoking haraam?

Smoking is one of the things which has caused a lot of problems and harm these days and it has spread like wild fire. Perhaps you know that all nations of the world – Muslim and Non Muslim alike – have now started to fight smoking, because they know that it is very harmful. Islam forbids everything that is harmful. Undoubtedly there are foods and drinks which are beneficial and good, and others which are harmful and bad.


Before we discuss this topic in detail, we should know that Allaah the Almighty has divided things in the world into two types, good or permissible (al-tayyibaat, al-halaal) and evil or prohibited (al-khabaa'ith, al-haraam), and there is no third type.


Allah says (interpretation of the meaning) in surat al-A'raaf (7:157):
"And He makes good things halaal for them and bad things haraam."


Is smoking one of the good and lawful things (al-tayyibaat) or one of the evil and unlawful things (al-khabaa’ith)?


Considering this fact, smoking can either be permissible and good or prohibited and evil.


Thus, we present some of its characteristics and let the person asking the question see himself in which type lies smoking.


Firstly:


There is no disagreement among the physicians and sane people that smoking is harmful for the health of others who inhale the polluted breath of the smoker. It is one of the major causes of lung cancer and other diseases. It is also one of the major causes of death. Medical research has proven the harmful effects of smoking mothers on their children.


The offensive smell caused by smoking is a source of pain to the worshippers of Allah among humans and angels. The angels are offended and suffer from the same things that the human beings suffer from.


Allah said (interpretation of the meaning):


"Those who cause harm to believing men and women without any reason do a great sin." (Surat al-Ahzaab, 33:58)


"Do not kill yourself. Allah is Merciful unto you." (Surat al-Nisaa' 4:29)


In addition, His Prophet SAWS (peace be upon him) said:


"There is no harm or causing of harm (in Islaam)." (Arabic "laa darar wa laa diraar")





He SAWS (peace be upon him) also said:

"A person will not be able to move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about ... his body as to what he engaged it in."


Smoking also goes against the saying of the Prophet SAWS:


"Your body has a right on you."


secondly:


It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah forbids you to trade gossip, to ask too many questions and to waste money.” And Allaah forbade wasteful extravagance when He said (interpretation of the meaning):


“and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allaah) likes not Al Musrifoon (those who waste by extravagance)." [al-A’raaf 7:31]


And He described the slaves of the Most Merciful as follows (interpretation of the meaning):


“And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor niggardly, but hold a medium (way) between those (extremes)” [al-Furqaan 25:67]


The whole world now knows that the money spent on smoking is to be considered as money wasted, from which no benefit is gained; indeed, it is money spent on something harmful. If the money which is spent on smoking worldwide were to be collected, it could have saved entire populations who have died of starvation. Is there anyone more foolish that one who holds a dollar bill and sets fire to it? What is the difference between him and the one who smokes? Indeed, the smoker is more foolish, because the folly of the one who burns a dollar bill ends there, whilst the one who smokes burns his money and also harms his body.


The money that is spent on cigarettes is used on buying a harmful thing and is therefore an extravagance. Allah said (interpretation of the meaning):
"… and do not be extravagant wasters. Those who are extravagant are kinsmen of Satan." (Surat al-Israa' 17:26-27)


Extravagance (in Islam) means spending on something haraam.


Spending money on cigarettes is a waste of resources as well. The Prophet SAWS (peace be upon him) said:


"A person will not be able to move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about ..... what he owned as to how he spent it."


Thirdly:


How many disasters have been caused by smoking, because of cigarette butts which are thrown away and cause fires. Other disasters have been caused in other ways, as when a house was burned down with its occupants inside, when a man lit his cigarette when there was a gas leak.


Fourthly:


How many people are offended by the smell of smokers, especially when you are unfortunate enough to have one of them standing next to you in the mosque. Probably any nasty smell is easier to bear than the smell of the smoker’s mouth when he has just woken up. It is amazing how many women can put up with the smell of their husbands’ mouths! The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade those who had eaten garlic or onions from coming to the mosque so that they would not offend their fellow-worshippers with their smell. The smell of onions and garlic is easier to bear than the smell of the smoker and his mouth.







Considering all that has been presented, it can be clearly seen that smoking is an evil among many others. It is not permissible to indulge in it, or buy and sell it, or even to offer it to others. It is incumbent on a person who is addicted to it that he must make all efforts and get whatever necessary treatment to stop it. If the unbelievers have understood the harm caused by smoking and made laws regarding it, the Muslims should be even more eager to stop it and treat those who are addicted to it.


We ask Allah the Almighty to cure everyone indulging in this evil and help him in giving it up. Allah is the Best Guide to the Right Path.

Assala mu alaiqum " brother & sister "

I am a smoker I want to quit it .

According to my knowledge Islam for all time . Islam has all solutions for all problems . Islam not only do and don't religion its do and don't and how to achieve that do and don't . In Islam all things mentioned , some things may mentioned directly some thing mentioned indirectly , some thing has signs some things straight forwardly . So I believe, in Islam might be not mentioned straight forwardly or directly about smoking ; But may be mentioned about tobacco .
As you said that , those things are forbidden which are harms our body . Here one question arise ; Why Allah forbidden it ? Definitely some one there who was harming their body or Allah knew that people will harm their body , So Allah forbidden it . Allah not only forbidden it but also should shown the way how to stop harming our body . Because Islam is not only Do and Don't . Islam is Do and Don't and how to achieve that Do and Don't .
So I need that tricks or method or way or techniques which Allah provided us through his book and messenger ( Prophet ) .

Please enlightening me by those knowledge .

[Samiun]

There was a big dispute in Malaysia I believe quite recently about making smoking haraam.

:sl: really? Cuz I so a fatwa from JAKIM the other day in a mosque and I saw poster(fatwa) that says smoking is haram after the agreement and meeting of members of the board and mufti in 1872 if I wasn't mistaken

[Galaxy]

Smoking is a disgusting habit. It smells terrible and it affects the people around the smoker. What a waste, they inhale all the toxic chemicals and flick onto the ground. It kills you slowly. These facts are well known but people do it anyway. I understand how hard it is to quit but you have to be determined and inshaa Allaah you will be able to quit. Just try to quit for the sake of Allaah and inshaa' Allaah you will rewarded.

[Abz2000]

fish and chips instead of salad would possibly be more harmful - yet it's perfectly allowed.
still, even though i smoke - i do believe it is better to avoid and would never encourage it, however sometimes i need a break.

[Dagless]

fish and chips instead of salad would possibly be more harmful - yet it's perfectly allowed.

The difference is that sensible amounts of fish and chips nourish you. Sensible amounts of cigarettes do not; their effects are negative at any amount.

[Abz2000]

yeah the bad is more than the good - is what i was thinking on my way out, amazingly - i came across this totally unrelated video while watching japanese people eat wriggling squids, i don't know how i got to the smoker's lungs video - but i did - and now i'm thinking...............................


scroll to 2 min 45 seconds



so then i checked this:

[SFatima]

I think that smoking is a makrouh act , close to haram, almost haram ,why? I'm am not a scholar but in this case, you don't have to be one.

There is a hadith that " all substances containing addictions (Nasha) are haram" And Nicotine in tobbacco is undoubtedly a highly addictive substance which has no other purpose than to destroy your health, spread all that destructive smoke to people around you and let your dentist smell the bad breath from your mouth for so long :/ .

It also paves way for other addictive euphoric substances, since the same among of nicotine stops giving you the high that it gives initially and thus the dose increases per our body demands, and on comes the dope and then hashish and then dying in your sleep without even knowing it : p

So, going by that standard, I don't consume coffee and tea on a regular basis, cause they also cause addiction and dependency, but since their effect on health is not destructive and they just cause dependency, they are not considered haram. I take them once a while for fun, but not regular cause the thought of being addicted to something scares me, and also weakens your will power, yellows your teeth, dehydrates your system, and yeah hate to wash coffee tea utensils :p:

A better alternative to smoking and tea/coffee is green herbal tea, which not only has innumerable health benefits, but also freshens you up,wakes you up,really good for digestion, hydration and easy to make, clean up after, without the addiction hang overs and stuff. But if you're on on coffee or tea, you're dependent on it like a slave : p If you don't have herbal tea, just try drinking hot water like the chinese, and have amazing health, fitness and no need for tea/coffee; hot water also wakes your brain up real good.

[m2p]

smoking seriously i dont know whether its harram but its bad for you the only difference between smoking and shooting yourself in the head is one is a fast death the other takes years

and you shouldnt need to be told its harram to keep away from it allah has given us the brains to think for ourself

[Abz2000]

Another thing it does is weaken will power and the ability to cope with stress naturally.
It's like a hiding place from reality with smoke and coals at the bottom

And the following Hadith did not make me feel good about smoking either:

On the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (radiAllahu anhu), the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:

"The likeness of a righteous friend and an evil friend,
is the likeness of a (musk) perfume seller and a blacksmith.
As for the perfume seller, he may either bestow something on you,
or you may purchase something from him,
or you may benefit from his sweet smell.
And as for the blacksmith, he may either burn your clothes,
or you may be exposed to his awful smell."
[Bukhari and Muslim]

[Kitsune92]

I don't know if its haram or not, but it sure is disgusting... i can't stand being around someone who smokes. :heated:

[serena77]

i'm begging and pleading Allah (swt) to help me on this. I didnt start smoking till about 7-8 years ago ( i'm 34) anyone wants to know why i started at such an age, Ill be glad to go into it. I don't smoke the 3 packs a day by any means that my dad did ... but I do KNOW i have to quit. For myself, to please Allah (swt) ... because my mother and step father are quitting.. take your pick on the reason or reasons.

I work in a highly stressful call center and i'm really worried about work because my breaks are so needed to calm down and regroup before the next two hours or so of calls.... but i think i actually want to quit. I don't know which part of the whole smoking thing is the most addicting. but i do know i need to quit and i know w/ Allah's (swt) help I can. However, if anyone is so inclined to say Du'a for me while i try this.. Please Please feel free.

You can still take those breaks but have some fresh air/cup of tea/glass of water/chat instead. I used to do this in a previous role when a friend of mine smoked.

[sis muslimah]

Islam prohibits any action that causes harm to oneself or to other people. Allah (SWT) says:

Do not kill yourselves, Allah is indeed merciful to you. (An-Nisa' 4-29)


Do not cast yourselves, with your own hands, into destruction. (Al-Baqarah 2:195)


And the Messenger(SAW) says:No harm may be inflicted on oneself or others.(Recorded by Ahmad and Ibn Maajah from Ibn `Abbaas and `Ubaadah; authenticated by al-Albaani and others.)


The feet of a human being will not depart, on the day of Judgement, from his standing before his Lord, until he is questioned about five things: his lifetime - how did he pass it, his youth - how did he used it, his wealth - where did he earn it and how did he spend it, and how did he follow what he knew. (Recorded by at-Tirmithi and others from Ibn Mas`ud and AbO Barzah , authenticated by al-Albaani.)


Whoever consumes poison, killing himself with it, then he will he consuming his poison in the hellfire, and he will abide in it permanently and eternally.( Al-Bukhaari and Muslim from Jaabir)

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

:sl:

A lot of people gave answers with proof from the Quran, even tho its not a direct yes or no. but that answer is SUFFICIENT. What I dont understand is why there is even slight confusion about this topic...

We know suicide is haram, harming ourselves is haram. Ask yourself, is there anything good about smoking? Does it increase your health in a good way...of course not. Its not HARD...:/ We all know what the lungs of a smoking person looks like. As someone else mentioned...surely you wouldnt smoke cocaine, weed, pot, LSD..etc...so what makes smoking (cigarettes) any different? =/

You pretty much deteriorate your organs....and Im sure we all understand, Allaah would hate such an act. we hate what Allah hates. Also...i remember like last year...they said it may also cause blindness...yea so stay away.

:w:

[serena77]

this whole argument is why i'm trying to quit. I could have posted my intentions to another thread as I was going to try and quit before reading this one... but at the same time this one seemed appropriate.
quiting for some people... is easier than others... for some people... they can quit cold turkey and never think about it again.. .a friend of mine did that. I am not so able to do that.. wish i were.. and i'm hoping Allah ( swt ) will guide me as i quit.

^^InshaAllaah sis, maybe not right away but you can do it. Just keep it up! =) Everyones pace and capacity is different.
