I know this might seem like a weird question but my friend and I had a discussion.
He's Muslim and he asked whether I had smoked cigarette before. My parents always told me smoking was haram, whether it was cigarettes or marijuana sticks. And so did relatives.
He says it is "Mukru" or something. He says there's no mention of smoking cigarettes in the Quran, Hadith, and the scholars have mixed feelings. He told me that smoking cigarettes is allowed, marijuana is not allowed.
You can smoke cigarettes, but there's no sin involved right?
Malt beer without alcohol is also allowed right?
Salaam.
I told my friend this; that because smoking harms your body it is haram.

How does sugar harm your body? your brain only functions only on glucose even in a state of starvation, unless you're over eating and diabetic and using artificial crap.
I have low patience for dumb teenagers looking for an excuse to have a bad habit.
If he wants to smoke, he can smoke his way to lung/bladder cancer, emphysema COPD and the other laundry list for all I care. I think we've all done our part here and provided you with Quranic evidence and literature on smoking is available through your or his PCP's office!

I shall say that to him.
He believes its mahrum, "That smoking cigarettes doesn't cause sin but is bad for your health."
It probably is mahrum but I should probably leave it at that.
you should be firm but kind. It is a disgusting habit and I have known people who came to the ER due to secondary hand smoke with severe exacerbation there is actually on reported death. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php...smoke_exposure
My sister has terrible asthma due to smoking. I don't care if people have a desire to harm themselves but when they hurt innocent people around them then we all have every right to be angry and upset.
It is often the ignorant, cultural and those wishing to follow their desires that find excuses for the haram.
Actually, my friend said he tried smoking 5-6 times a couple of years back... a few times. I asked him whether that was haram. He said it's mahrum, meaning "it is not haram to smoke since it's not written in the Quran or Hadith. But it is unhealthy for you."

Of course this is not fair. Mothers smoking in front of their child, fathers doing the same. So sad.
Ask your friend is it ok if woman who is pregnant and smoke. Smoking cause harm to unborn child when woman smokes. Smoking is danger also to future father - it cause damages to sperm. Smoking may cause problems to him in the future life when he may like to make love with his wife. It may cause the situation that he physicly can´t.
The teachings of the Quran can´t include every words and matters we have now. Does in the Quran says that using cocaine is haram? No, there isn´t word cocaine but we know what cocaine is and we know using it is haram.

We have suffered too much for too long. We will not accept apartheid masked as peace. We will settle for no less than our freedom.

wa'alaikuma s'salaam,
His mufti friend may be a mufti in Islam but not in health science. And I believe the word you are referring to is makruh (disliked). It is a known fact that that smoking causes lung cancer, and other vital organ failures. It harms the body severily. It causes death over time = slow suicide. And Allah commands us to not throw ourselves in destruction, which is what smoking does. Islam also commands us to not harm the body, it has a right over us, and our body is a loan to us, so how we treat it will be questioned after return it to Allah. Lastly, second hand smoking is 3-6x more deadly. So if someone dies because of 2nd smoke, people can say "makruh" all they want, he or she will seek justice before Allah against the smoker for the harm they caused him or her. That "makruh" excuse won't save the smokers then.
Cigarette's damage vital organs of the body > Smoking kills > Suicide is prohibited
not only that it harms other ppl as well
i get really sick wen someones smoking near me n now i kinda sense it start coughing badly :S
its a horrible thing srsly.
Allah made everyone different thats what makes them special,so no matter what ppl say just remember you're SPECIAL!! "You are with the one you love"

You should see me at the masjid praying beside a man who just finished his smoke and has now come to pray namaaz. I can't even breath through my nose.
I live in a condo (kind of like an apartment building), a man who just finished his smoke right outside our condo came and waited with me for the elevator. I live on the 16th floor, he lived on the 14th. The smell of smoke on his breath was so much that I quickly pressed 5 and left the elevator and took the stairs (which I normally do). The sad thing is; he was breathing from his nose and his mouth was shut.
3. Look up the origins of smoking. It was originally a religious practice. Do you desire to practice another religion.
Nice point Brother.

Now does smoking once or twice in your lifetime kill sperm or is it when you smoke everyday?
You decide to have a quick smoke before going inside the masjid and offer your prayers.
Considering that prayers are a direct communication with your Maker.
If you are a true believer, are you comfortable doing this?
Also
If people were smoking at the same time that they were drinking alcohol at the time of the Prophet (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) don't you think that cigarettes woul also be prohibited?
