In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful. Answer Scholars all over the world differ on the ruling of smoking. Arab scholars are of the view that smoking is Haraam as it is a slow method of suicide and commiting suicide is haraam in Islam. Furthermore, it creates bad smell and is a waste of money. Allah (SWA) in the Holy Qur'an has said; "And do not put yourselves into destruction." (Surah Al Baqarah V.195) "And do not squander recklessly. Surely, squanderers are brothers to Shaitan, and the Shaitan is very ungrateful to his lord. (Surah Bani Israaeel V.27) Scholars from the Indian Sub Continent are of the view that smoking is Makruh Tahrimi as there is not enough strength in the above reasons to say it is Haraam. Makruh Tahrimi is a disliked act very close to Haram. However, this does not mean that this view encourages smoking. Makruh Tahrimi should be avoided and if a person does a Makruh Tahrimi act he should repent and ask forgiveness from Allah (SWA) Only Allah Knows Best

Smoking is forbidden per Islam religion. In Islam, smoking is subject to the following saying:

  • Islamic scholars have historically had mixed views about tobacco, and until recently, there has not been a clear, unanimous fatwa (legal opinion) to allow or forbid cigarette smoking.
  • The mixed views on the subject came about because cigarettes are a more recent invention and did not exist at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an in the 7th century A.D. Therefore, one cannot find a verse of Qur'an, or words of the Prophet Muhammad, saying clearly that "cigarette smoking is forbidden."
  • However, there are many instances where the Qur'an gives us general guidelines, and calls upon us to use our reason and intelligence, and seek guidance from Allah about what is right and wrong and what is allowed and forbidden.
  • Islamic scholars use their knowledge and judgment to make new legal rulings (fatwa). In the Qur'an, Allah says, "...he [the Prophet] commands them what is just, and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good, and prohibits them from what is bad..." (Qur'an 7:157).
  • In more recent times, as the dangers of tobacco use have come to be proven beyond any doubt, scholars have become more unanimous in pronouncing tobacco use clearly haram (forbidden)to believers. They now use the strongest terms to condemn this habit. Here is a clear example:
  • "In view of the harm caused by tobacco, growing, trading in and smoking of tobacco are judged to be haram (forbidden). The Prophet, peace be upon him, is reported to have said, 'Do not harm yourselves or others.' Furthermore, tobacco is unwholesome, and God says in the Qur'an that the Prophet, peace be upon him, 'enjoins upon them that which is good and pure, and forbids them that which is unwholesome'" (Permanent Committee of Academic Research and Fatwa, Saudi Arabia).

What is smokeless?

No one knows because smoke doesn't have to be visible to exist. Smoke and heat is a combination of hot air and the smoke depends on the material being burned, some burn light and others dark black smoke. Does burning gas from a lighter have no smoke?well, it still burns and heats the air around it and it climbs fast vertically and blurs the air.. That is invisible smoke or hot air from a clean burning fuel. That brings us to one conclusion, smokeless fire is a fire that gives no heat and that is not something of this realm. however, the Muslims have a description of demons in the Qur'an as been created from "smokeless fire" and humans from clay.
