Violators of the smoking ban face a minimum punishment of 40 lashes with a whip.
The Islamic views on tobacco vary by region. Though tobacco or smoking in general is not explicitly mentioned in the Quran or hadith, contemporary scholars have condemned it as potentially harmful, and have at times prohibited smoking outright (declared it haram) as a result of the severe health damage that it causes.
This is based on the general statement in the Quran describing the Prophet: He makes lawful to them what is good and pure and prohibits them what is foul and impure. (7:157) Since tobacco can only be classified as foul, considering the effects it produces on human health, its prohibition is most certain.
The response was, tobacco was unknown until many centuries after Islam was introduced and was not mentioned in the Qur'an, but alcohol was known and is explicitly forbidden. The consensus of Islamic scholars is that tobacco and other harmful drugs are forbidden by analogy.
He said, “Associating others with Allah (shirk); witchcraft; killing a soul whom Allah has forbidden us to kill, except in cases dictated by Islamic law; devouring orphans' wealth; consuming Riba; fleeing from the battlefield; and slandering chaste and innocent women.”
of mušrik مشرك) are those who practice shirk, which literally means "association" and refers to accepting other gods and divinities alongside God (as God's "associates"). The Qur'an considers shirk as a sin that will not be forgiven if a person dies without repenting of it.
The majority of Islamic scholars also say that smoking is generally seen as something which is haram (forbidden) in Islam because of its harmful effect on the body. This also applies to vaping with e-cigarettes because of the inhalation of harmful chemicals.
Vaping appears to be considered haram (forbidden by Islamic law) by most Islamic scholars. Even though the UK's Office for Health Improvements and Disparities (formerly Public Health England) says vaping is 'at least 95% less harmful than smoking', it is considered haram because vaping is not entirely risk-free.
Dogs in Islam, as they are in Rabbinic Judaism, are conventionally thought of as ritually impure. This idea taps into a long tradition that considers even the mere sight of a dog during prayer to have the power to nullify a pious Muslim's supplications.
The Roman Catholic Church does not condemn smoking per se, but considers excessive smoking to be sinful, as described in the Catechism (CCC 2290): The virtue of temperance disposes us to avoid every kind of excess: the abuse of food, alcohol, tobacco, or medicine.
Dar al-Ifta Al Misriyyah's Fatwa further supported the halal status of coffee and caffeine by addressing that small amounts of anything are prohibited if excessive intake causes drunkenness. As a result, practically all Muslim scholars concur that coffee is halal.
KUCHING: Much like smoking normal cigarettes, shisha or waterpipe smoking has also been recently declared haram (forbidden) for Muslims, and although no action will be taken against the smoker, it will be at the person's own risk.
For those who aren't aware, tattoos are considered haram (forbidden) in Islam. There is no specific Islamic verse outlining this point but many people believe wudu (the purification ritual) cannot be completed if you have a tattoo on your body. Hence, you can never pray.
Quit smoking for Ramadan
Ramadan is an annual Islamic month of fasting, worship, prayer, spirituality and reflection for 29 to 30 days in which smoking, eating, drinking and the use of tobacco products are strictly forbidden during fasting hours.
The general consensus is that vaping with nicotine e-liquids is haram, and even nicotine-free products should generally be avoided.
The use of e-cigarette devices containing Nicotine is considered Haram and therefore prohibited in Islam. However, smoking or vaping will not break the Wudu (ablution). This is because there is a clear list of nullifiers of Wudu and none of these occur through the action of smoking or vaping.
Islamic education group AlMaghrib Institute research say that it "is impermissible to use e-cigarettes because of their harmful nature, and in addition they also break the fast due to the ingestion of nicotine as well as the manner of its ingestion, identical to the rulings applied to normal cigarettes."
Lastly, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church is one of the strictest when it comes to vaping. In addition to prohibiting tobacco use by members, this church has also called on the government to ban tobacco ads and put strong measures in place to regulate its use.
Imam al-Ghazali, reported several hadith and came to the conclusion that music in and of itself is permitted, saying: "All these Ahadith are reported by al-Bukhari and singing and playing are not haram." He also references a narration from Khidr, wherein a favorable opinion of music is expressed.
Try to reduce your smoking habit as you prepare to embrace the holy month. Then, make the best of Ramadan by avoiding chain-smoking after Iftar and minimising compensatory smoking. Ramadan is the perfect time and motivation for you to stop smoking.
Ibn al-Qayyim argued: And for this reason, shirk is the most despised thing to Him (Allah) because it diminishes one's love (for Allah) and transfers it to whoever he associated with Him (Allah)... And no doubt this is the greatest crime a lover can commit toward his beloved.
