The reason why smoking is Haraam

Smoking is one of the things which has caused a lot of problems and harm these days and it has spread like wild fire. Perhaps you know that all nations of the world – Muslim and Non Muslim alike – have now started to fight smoking, because they know that it is very harmful. Islam forbids everything that is harmful. Undoubtedly there are foods and drinks which are beneficial and good, and others which are harmful and bad.


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."


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


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.

Mak Minah dan Pak Mat ada 4 org anak perempuan yang sangat disayangi iaitu Siti, Seri, Murni dan Suri. Satu hari mereka berpakat utk kahwinkan anak2 ni serentak. Selepas selamat diijabkabulkan, ke-empat2 anak tu pun bercadang untuk pegi honeymoon. Siti pegi honeymoon ke Pulau Langkawi, Seri ke Pulau Tioman,Murni ke Pulau Kapas dan Suri ke Pulau Pangkor. Sebelum pegi Mak Minah dan Pak Mat berpesan, “nanti jgn lupa hantar berita pada mak dan ayah. Ceritakan macam mana honeymoon korang. Tak payah tulis panjang2, pakai kod iklan aja dah cukup. Ringkas, padat dan cepat.” panjang lebar Mak Minah memberi arahan pada anak2nya.
Seminggu lepas tu depa terimalah surat dari Siti yang bertulis ‘Standard Chartered’ . Tercari2lah kedua suami isteri ni iklan Standard Chartered dan bila jumpa tersenyum le kedua2nya membaca iklan yang bertulis “Besar, teguh dan peramah”.. Bahagialah Si Siti rupanya..
