is smoking of weed haram?

[barney]

It's Haram, and its stupid and it causes mental breakdown.

stay WELL CLEAR

 

[muzna]

as for medicinal purposes...most medicinal drugs are not for everyday use by just anyone..they are prescribed for use only in certain conditions for certain illnesses..so marijuana as a medicinal drug will be prescribed only for those who really need it..not just for anyone to get high on..that would be drug abuse

Smoking cigarettes causes a lot more damage and that isn't haram.

The reason why smoking is haraam

Question:
why is smoking haram?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

Perhaps you know that all nations of the world – Muslim and kaafir alike – have now started to fight smoking, because they know that it is very harmful. Islam forbids everything that is harmful, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There should be no harming or reciprocating harm.”

Undoubtedly there are foods and drinks which are beneficial and good, and others which are harmful and bad. Allaah described our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the following terms (interpretation of the meaning):

“he allows them as lawful At Tayyibaat (i.e. all good and lawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods), and prohibits them as unlawful Al Khabaa’ith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods)

[al-A’raaf 7:157]

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

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.

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.

These are some of the reasons why smoking is haraam.

Ruling on smoking

Question:
Is smoking cigarettes Haraam?

Answer:

Praise be to Allah and peace and blessings be on His Prophet SAWS.

Smoking is one of the things which has caused a lot of problems and harm these days and it has spread like wild fire. 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."

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.

There is no disagreement among the physicians and sane people that smoking is harmful for health. It is one of the major causes of lung cancer and other diseases. It is also one of the major causes of death. Since, it is known that the Islamic law prohibits everything that is harmful for a human being. Allah said (interpretation of meaning):
"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."

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. 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)

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."

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.



Islam Q&A
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid

[Curaezipirid]

Salam

The homeopathic materia medica books (try the indian prints from Jain publishers - but the really really big longest most detailed copies), are where you can find the most precise descriptions of what cannabis and also cannabis indica, cause to the psychology.

Basically, it is not advisable, and precisely because there is no way really to get through the experience without attracting the attention of the Jinn, and so you need to be able to call upon a well minded Jinn.

In fact, though the Jinn smoke the drug occassionally so as to know certain things, and not without paying the retribution of in full, the minds of Humans, when addicted to the weed, are as likely as not to actually be becoming addicted to attuning closely with the Jinn.

There is a neuro-transmitter named Anadamide, which is naturally occuring, and THC in cannabis imitates the key it has in its molecular conformation/shape in general, which enters into a molecule in the surface of neurone cells, which has a shape like a lock which is unlocked for that key. It is really a very mechanical process happening at the molecular level. Even basic energy production in the Human body, is the same as in trees for example and all living bodies at the cellular level, and is happening by the mechanics of a stream of isolated tiny molecules falling over another molecule shaped like a paddle wheel, and picking up an extra atom. Then those molecules travel off to where in the body energy is needed, and drop of the extra atom, and head back into the paddle wheel again.

Perhaps you might notice that when I smoked weed I was studying a biochemistry degree at University. Very interesting indeed. I got top marks too. But seriously folks, the price I pay might not be what you would want to.

However these days I am perfectly straight having stabilised my physiology into high levels of production of anadamide. Living with Jinn ain't easy but it is possible, and in total sanity once you can find the way with real Muslim Jinn.

The way off the cannabis is to first connect your smoking habit to a reward system, so that you only smoke when already having begun a work task which needs completing, and then the bio-chemistry of your mind is focussed upon work. The detox is all through facing fear of Jehannam, inevitably then, but it is much better to face that fear while detoxing than while actually engaging in the wrong behaviour. At about three months in, the detox is very scary, but that is when Jinn will test you, are you falling into the not enough self to cope category, or the too much self category. I am in both, because I figured out that the only way to get off the drug without loosing my real self, was to just keep on swallowing more and more, until you can catch up with your own nature as it was being stolen from you by users of other drugs, and drug sellers etc. Opiate users usually attack and make use of the self of cannabis smokers, which is a very good reason not to go near weed.

Believe me seriously here, because the habit I had was only as much as once every couple of months for only a few years, then every day for six months, and then after the detox from that (all happened before I became Muslim), I have smoked only once every year and for testing out what is happening in my full psychological picture, only so as to know what my whole being is gravitating towards, (ie, am I still in that previous level of fear or have I swallowed enough now). That might seem a lot to many of you, but for many Aussie folk it is very little. But we have an unusual tolerance because our indigenous racial biochemistry is normally in a high level of anadamide production, and the most harm done by smoking is that the natural level of anadamide production is lowered. Thankfully I can report that my own level of production is risen back up to higher than it had been before I smoked, needing hard labour for life, and a good conscience, necessary to enable. Best never to smoke it unsupervised by a doctor, if ever, and then even it can not be held as Halal.

The most common medicinal use is taking the 'manic' part out of any bi-polar type of illness. But frankly, bi-polar diseases are just too expensive for the Jinn to hold out for, so while the manic self which folk might notice is insane is diminished by cannabis, a person with a bi-polar condition will more likely be absorbing high levels of extremely paranoid memory traces. It is also used for pain relief with patients dying of AIDS, and that use is really terrible for all their acquaintances, and worse for the patient in the full outcome, so perhaps not too bad, except that it enables AIDS carriers to seem to be able to interact normally. There is a form of psychotic illness which folk manifest whilst dying of HIV/AIDS, that it is better to enable exposure of. I know a homeless weed seller with it, and he is quite absurdly endeavouring to live by faulting those whom fault him for having HIV.

Also, there are Ayurvedic liquorice cigarettes, that get you high for about ten minutes, and then the next time for five minutes, the for two and a half, and by the time you have smoked ten the rest of the packet is making you feel sick just to look at them. They are for getting off tobacco.

What are they in Islam though? Halal, Haram, or neither.

I used tobacco to get off cannabis, and managed to get off tobacco without needing any medicine. The licorice cigarettes only made me want cannabis rather than tobacco.

But here is another very good reason not to smoke cannabis. The newer genetically engineered strains of the weed, have more THC, but also are usually grown with an amphetamine like substance in the water the hydroponic growers use. That is what has caused the worst damage to Aboriginal Australian youth. It is quite a readily available and cheap drug here, not causing crime to get it except the act of purchase, but then after using that strong stuff with amphetamines, many young people had a craving more like coming down from coffee, and were provided with cheap heroin. The heroin gets them more stoned for less money at first, but after a month it is so expensive that it is causing crime, because the half life of heroin (time until there is half as much left in the blood stream) is very long, at three days.

please read the fatwas i posted. smoking is haraam. don't compare nicotine to oily foods. no offense but anyone with a half of brain can figure out the difference between smoking cigs and oily foods.

nicotine does far worse damage than oily foods. oily foods won't kill you, if you have them in moderations(which our prophet (pbuh) told us how to eat). cigarettes can still do damage even if done in moderation.

i can't believe muslims are still using this excuse to smoke.

 

[skhalid]

Which ever brings harm to you or others is considered to be haram!!!

 

[aamirsaab]

Like any drug, it is fine to use it for medicinal purposes (hey that connects with morality!). It depends on it's usage.

For a clear definition of what Haraam actually means:

Which ever brings harm to you or others is considered to be haram!!!

Thus it is not simply a commandment to avoid it.

Man I'm good at this!

Is Smoking Permitted? Is it a Munkar?

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani, SunniPath Academy Teacher

In the Reliance, Sh. Nuh translated a fatwa stating that smoking cigarettes is haram because it is like committing suicide on oneself due to the fact that doctors have come out and said that smoking does kill. What about smoking the Hookah (the smoking device found in most Arab countries)? Is there an opinion on that specifically? The Hookah has been around much longer than cigarettes and some classical scholars may have commented on it. I'm trying to understand if there is a difference between cigarettes and the hookah, either by the tobacco that's being used, or how it works. Is it haram, makruh, etc to use such a device?


Walaikum assalaam,

Smoking is differed upon among scholars, and the ruling for hookahs follows that of smoking. The opinion mentioned in the Reliance is also taken by many major Hanafis in our times and in the past. This is certainly the more precautious opinion, and seems to make sense both socially and individually.

HOWEVER, other great scholars still hold that smoking is disliked and not impermissible. While one may not agree with them, their reasoning is has legal grounding and is certainly not baseless. Among such scholars are major Hanafis of India and Pakistan, who say that the actual act of smoking is disliked (makruh tanzihan) unless grave harm is feared from it in one’s specific case. They are well aware of the medical evidence, and take it into consideration in their ruling. I heard this opinion, for example, from Mufti Mahmoud Usmani (Allah preserve him), whose knowledge, wisdom and understanding where eye-opening.

NOW, one may not follow this opinion, but it opens a difference of opinion in the issue, which means that it is no longer obligatory for us as individuals to forbid the evil if one sees someone smoking, though, given one’s belief and the direction religious caution and worldly considerations point, it would be recommended and praiseworthy to advise such smokers to desist, out of nasiha.

May Allah guide us to the best of ways and manners, and grant us the success to follow His Beloved Prophet, for he who is like the beloved is beloved.

Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani.

but not in the form of a smoked weed. in most cases, opium will even induce nausea, stomach irritation and profuse sweating which is a set back for a chemotherapy.

Actually specifically in the form of smoked weed it is beneficial to helping nausea. We're talking about marijuana here, not opium.

 

[aadil77]

Weed is a intoxicant, ANYthing in islam that INTOXICATES the mind is haraam, you will be considered non - muslim for 40 days as i said before and no worship or deeds will be accepted during that time, i don't see how weed for painkiller is permissable:? , there must be other painkillers

cigerettes do not intoxicate the mind and take hundreds or thousands to really harm the body, so they're not really haraam
