Is Cigarettes Smoking Halaal ?

[Nur]

The Perils Of Smoking

 

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable, a smoker is asking a learned Islamic scholar about religious ruling on smoking.

 

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: Salaam, Sheikh, I am a smoker, and I am bothered by some of our wadaads saying that cigarettes smoking is haraam, I think that cigarttes are just like food, thus halaal, am I right yaa sheikh? .

 

Sheikh: Well, my son, do you say bismillah before you light up your cigarette?

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: Of course not.

 

Sheikh: OK, after you are done with smoking do you say, Alhamdulillah?

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: Of course not

 

 

Sheikh: What do you do with the remaining tobacco in the cigartette butt?

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: I throw it in the dirt and rub it down with my shoes.

 

Sheikh: When you go to Masjid for prayers, do you eat or drink, like dates and water.

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: Of course, we do that in Ramadan

 

Sheikh: Do you also light up your cigarette during iftar in Masjid?

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: Of course not.

 

 

Sheikh: Why not?

 

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: Cuz, its rude, not appropriate in that clean environment.

 

 

Sheikh: My son, when we eat food we say Bismillah, you dont do that with your cigarttte, we say Alhamdulillah after we are done eating, you dont say that either after quenching your nicotene craving, when we finish eating, the remaining porttion we save for another day, or feed the poor, you throw it on the ground and rub it down with your shoes, we enjoy eating food in masjid if we feel hungry, you have to walk out to smoke, let me ask you, are cigarettes like food?

 

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: I guess NO.

 

Sheikh: Does cigartees fall in the category of ( Al Tayibaat mina Rizq) wholesome good nourishing foods?

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: I guess not.

 

Sheikh: Does it cause many deseases that kill people?

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: yes, Plenty of deseases.

 

Sheikh: Therefore, dont you agree that Smoking is ( Khabeeth) not virtous, evil and bad?

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: Yes.

 

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: Therefore, if we agree that its Khabeeth, what remains to be seen is if there are any proof from Quraan or Hadeeth that says that the Khabeeth is Haraam.

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: That is right yaa Sheikh, tell me.

 

Sheikh: Allah SWT says in Quraan: Wa Axalla lakumu tayibaatu wa xarrama calaykumu al khabaa'ith" Allah made lawful for you (to eat) the Tayibaat ( good healthy, wholesome foods) (while) he made it Haraam (unlawful ) for you (to consume) the Khabaa'ith (plural of khabeeth, injurious, bad, unhealthy consumables and foods).

 

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: Thank you Sheikh.

 

 

Sheikh:, son, take this Haroob of foaming Camel Milk.

 

 

Mr. Af-ku-Dable: UUUUUMH, thats so delicious, yaa Sheikh, can I have more please?.

 

 

Sheikh: Camel milk is the healthiest nutrition you can put in a Haroob, our camel boys live on camel milk alone for months, it is the only milk that comes with Vitamin C, it has antibodies that are being experimented to penetrate and kill HIV virsus, it rids the body of the toxicity, binds with heavy metals in your liver to get them out of your system, I heard that it even cures Leukimia and other forms of cancer caused by smoking, so, why not take a vacation for few months to live with the Somali camel boys and regain your clean body, and MIND?
