O You who believe! Intoxicants (inc. drugs and alcohol) and gambling, (dedication of) stones and (divination by) arrows are an abomination of Satan’s handiwork. Avoid (such abominations) that you may prosper. (5:90)
Satan’s plan is to sow hatred and enmity amongst you with intoxicants and gambling, and to hamper you from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. Will you not give up? (5:91)
Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Every intoxicant is khamr (wine) and every intoxicant is haraam (unlawful). Whosoever drinks wine in this world and dies whilst consumed in it and does not repent will not drink it in the next world. (Muslim)
I'm sure that illegal drugs are haram, but it would be untrue to say that they all cause loss of consciousness - quite the opposite in the case of stimulants like amphetamine or cocaine.
What would be the Islamic position on intoxicants that can be used for medical purposes, such as nitrous oxide, temazepam or diamorphine? Would a Muslim be advised to refuse treatment using diamorphine (the medical name for heroin), which is the most effective painkiller known to humanity?

Answer: When you take drugs for any anesthetic for medication, that is considered as a matter of necessity, or it is an exceptional case, because an operation poses much pain. Some pain could be killed by certain drugs. That is exceptionally lawful, because a patient cannot tolerate that pain.
thanks for replying guys, i was wondering cannabis because one of my muslim friends smoke it and he told me it isint haram and i realy thought it was.
walaku muslam
cannabis for sure..theres a quraan ayaah you will see all over saudi arabia which is more for smoking..which means to some extent do not bring ruin to yourself through your own hands also there is more harm in it then benefit...like if you were a glaucoma patient or something then i think that would be a different case
I though so, so many people try de-haraming smoking by saying its a habbit its not mentioned in the quran but has any one got proof its haram like in the quran or haddith?
As for your question on porn - yes that is haram too. It doesnt matter whether they had 'porn' with the same definition as it has now, in the Prophets time. It involves looking at naked bodies - and disrespect to the modesty of females and males. http://askimam.org/fatwa/fatwa.php?a...44686fc99d807b
Drugs are not haram. But misuse of drugs which lead to intoxication and addiction is haram. But smoking is confirmed haram because:
1) It has 4,000 kind of chemicals which are harmful.
2) It endangers passive smokers.
3) It's the most useless thing evr created by human - what the purpose of burning your money by smoking?

Smoking and pornography both existed in the Prophet's (pbuh) time. Whether they existed in his culture is another question, but they certainly existed in other societies.
