Question:
Is smooking permitted in islam? And is chewing of tobacco permitted in islam.

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

Smoking is haraam, because it is evil and because it causes a great deal of harm. Allaah has permitted to His slaves only good kinds of food and drink, and He has forbidden the bad kinds. Allaah says (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]

All forms of smoking are kinds of khabaa’ith (evil and unlawful things), and they include harmful and intoxicating substances. It is haraam to deal with it in any way, whether one inhales it, chews it or deals with it in any of its other forms. It is obligatory upon every Muslim to give up these things and to hasten to repent to Allaah, and to regret having committed this sin, and to resolve never to go back to it. May Allaah help us and you to do all that is good.

What is Allahs thoughts on hummers and other big 4x4 gas guzzling, smoke and pollution belching vehicles?

If smoking is Haram so surely is a hummer or land cruiser?

Smoking cigar

what about liquor or beer or wine?? some ppl say its alrite some say it aint alrite. anyone?

And queue jumping - that right does my head in.

Especially when I want to pay for petrol and buy a pack of Marlboro Lights.

P.s. - chewing tobacco is haram, this is plain redneck nasty sh1t dude, brown teeth and little pools of black spit everywhere.

I guess by extension, Khat, betel nut chewing, magic mushrooms etc are all haram. Someone should tell the Sudanese, Ethiopians etc.

Perhaps the ban on smoking in public places here is because of this fatwa??

normal people (be it sheikhs or the other) that make things haram, are haram..... they arent in any position to decide what is and what isnt haram.
