Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa Salatu was Salam
ala Sayyidina Muhammad he was early he asked me he he Marina
unburied.
I was once in Egypt at the book fair. That takes place every
January. It's an international book fair. And I've gone with a
few brothers from the UK and
one of the brothers mashallah with a big beard as well. We were
sitting down he was sitting down outside of the US her area and
there's a there's a very famous market down there the Han Khalili
as such, so he was sitting there having a shisha because at that
time I think it was a big
there was a big hype about shisha in in the UK it kind of just
started and everything and people started buying all of these T
shirts every house you went to in the front room they had a shisha
as though it's some kind of adornment or something. Right? I
don't know if you if you remember that time, but all these houses in
the UK had all of these shisha shoved around. So
this person just thought it was quite normal at that time, because
people had this idea at that time that there's no harm in it. It's
just this nice pastime and there's no harm in it. So he's sitting
there having one having a shisha and I just personally I can't bear
the smell of it. It just smells very sweet and sickening,
sickening and just makes you want to vomit. Hamdulillah I feel that
way. But
I remember there were two three other brothers that were young
guys, young guys from Egypt who around
No, no beards as well. And I just asked him I said, You know what,
do the alumni here consider this? I mean, do you guys consider
shisha to be fine? And they said No, It's haram, you know, are the
Mahir say It's haram. And that's the same case with many of their
other minds, Saudi Arabia as well. They consider it haram. Now
they've got their reasons, obviously, whatever those reasons
are. What I want to speak about today is that
you know, the great thing that happened in the UK was that they
had this ban on shisha smoking inside, and thus many of these
shisha cafes had to close down. Now they've got these rooftop
ones, and then they've got these ones, you know, but this can only
be done by companies that have a place outside. So they've got
these outer verandas, or whatever it is, in which they have the
shisha and so on. The thing is that I think what we need to look
at is
what are the harms of this thing? That's what we need to look at, to
to provide a hook them. So number one, I mean, smoking, according to
many of their alumni is haram. According to many alumni
internationally speaking, it's haram. According to many ornament
of the subcontinent, they said it was mcru. Because I think the time
that this fatwa came out many, many years ago, many decades ago,
in fact, at that time, smoking's harms, harms of smoking, were not
very well known. So they just said, it's mcru, it looks bad,
it's got you know, you've got this puff, coming out, look like a
chimney. It smells, it stinks. So they said, It's my crew, but they
didn't know is so harmful to the health. However, as people find
out, it's harms for health, they've got stricter for to us. So
personally speaking, what I generally say about smoking is
that it's haram to start, because you're wasting money, you're wet,
you're getting into something that's addictive, that's
addictive, that you're going to be you know, addicted to a very long
term for a very long time. It's got definite humps,
internationally, it's understood now that it's got hands, right.
And you you're you're basically becoming addicted to something
which is not going to further you in any way. Right, and it's
harmful for you. So it gives you lung disease, and it gives you
could give you cancer and throat disease and etc, etc. And when so
It's haram to start, but those poor people who unfortunately are
stuck with it, and they're trying their best to come out of it then
for them to continue obviously then there's a level of Cara and a
level of reprehensibility there but
I'm not gonna say that's haram because they're now stuck within
it tonight, where they pray to Allah subhanaw taala that Allah
protect us all and Allah helped them to also relieve themselves.
Many have been relieved when it comes to shisha. A lot of people
thought that it's quite harmless because it's colorful. And that's
the nature of things in this world. People package things in
nice colors, adorn them and embellish them and then suddenly
they start looking good. But that's, that's that's the problem.
It's not as good as it is. For example, they say the average pipe
smoking session of around an hour is equivalent to smoking about 200
cigarettes. Allahu Allah. I mean, that's that's a massive claim. But
if there's any truth in that, that's extremely harmful. Many,
you know many of those who've
who've, who've investigated this and who've researched into it,
they found that they're similar. They're similar health risks in
shisha smoking as there is in smoking cigarettes, obviously,
maybe on a slightly different level. But there are the same
kinds of things. For example, respiratory and heart disease, you
know, that can be that's also you can also get that from shisha
smoking, you get the same kind of carbon monoxide is released as
well. There's in infections and viruses such as Opal, such as oral
herpes and tobacco.
tuberculosis, all of this thing, all of these things,
because the tobacco passes through water first, some people think
that, you know, everything gets neutralized. But the problem is
that the same kind of passage, the same kind of carcinogens, and
Nick, nicotine, the carcinogens and nicotine still found in there.
And those are the things that are habit forming and cancer forming.
So heart disease and cancer is a possibility from there as well,
the World Health Organization, right, the W. H. O, they said that
the volume of smoke inhaled in an hour Setia session is estimated to
be equivalent of smoking between 100 to 200 Cigarettes, right. So
there's a lot of these things that you understand, it's definitely
when all of these organizations are saying that it's harmful, then
it's something that the Muslims should should avoid. Because it's
not a good pastime, when you've got all of these harmful effects
of it. There's no benefit in doing these things, if that's what you
know, that's what's going to come out of it.
The other problem with the shisha smoking is that because people
think that it's not harmful, then they smoke for much longer. So all
of this stuff is coming through at the same time, and it's not
getting fully neutralized. So there's, you know, there's all of
this harm in there. So may Allah subhanaw taala, give us the Tofig
to to avoid this. And to find a better past time, that's a lot
more healthier, and that won't
be considered harmful for one's health. Because just like we we
say that things which are harmful to spiritually, things that are
harmful to us physically, are also bad for us. So I think we need to
take that into consideration. And may Allah subhanaw taala give us
the ability to enjoy life in a way that's more harmful than healthy
than in these kinds of ways which are considered unhealthy and that
just may seem cool for people and not really beneficial. Just like
Well, look, we're working with that one and hamdulillah
