Aslam

Praise be to Allah.Smoking

is haraam, growing tobacco is haraam, and dealing in it is haraam, because

of the great harm which it causes. It was narrated in the hadeeth;

“There should be no causing harm or reciprocating harm. Smoking is also

one of al-khabaa’ith [evil things]. Allaah described the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as (interpretation of the

meaning): “… he allows them as lawful al-Tayyibaat [all good and

lawful things] and prohibits them as unlawful al-Khabaa’ith [all evil

and unlawful things]…” [al-A’raaf 7:157]

And

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“They ask you what is lawful for them. Say:

‘Lawful unto you are al-tayyibaat…” [al-Maa’idah 5:4]
