Question
What is the ruling in Islam on growing tobacco and on the money which the fellaheen earn from selling it?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.It is not permissible
to grow tobacco, or to sell it or use it, because it is haraam for several
reasons, because it is very harmful to the health, because it is filthy
and evil (khabeeth), and because there is no benefit in it. Muslims have
to give it up and keep away from it, and not grow it or deal in it,
because when Allaah forbids a thing, He forbids its price. And Allaah
knows best.
