00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			We were talking today in the Halukah after
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:03
			Fajr.
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			We were discussing a few things about Tawba,
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			and then we discussed
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			the matter
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			of of smoking.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:13
			And,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			then the management told me to repeat
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:17
			after a shot.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			I wonder why.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			What's the ruling on smoking?
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			Is it haram? Is it halal? Is it
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			makru? Is it mustahab?
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			Is
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			Well, I can guarantee you it's not mustahab.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			Okay. Seriously.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			When smoking started,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			was first introduced
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			to human beings
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			around sixties. The Alama scholars gathered to make
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			a ruling.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			So they asked, what does the smoking do?
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			What does it do to a person?
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			So the smokers said, you know,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			what it does is it gives you a
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			very bad smell,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			and it changes the colors of your fingers
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			on those days. I don't know if you
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			remember when the smoking in the beginning, it
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			was and even though now it still stinks,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			but it was horrible in the beginning.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			So they said it's it makes a very
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			bad smell.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:16
			So
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			the scholars gathered. And as we know in
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			in in our deen, there's something called Qiyas.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			They look at something in the past because
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			there was no smoking. So they look at
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			something in the past at the time Rasool
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and they compare it. Okay.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			So they looked, what does make smell that
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam made a hadith
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			about? Garlic and onion coming to the masjid.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44
			Right? So they said, Rasool said, makruh
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			to eat garlic or onion and come to
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			the Masjid, and this makes a smell because
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			of the smell it bothers the angels and
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			bothers your neighbor.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			So they said
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			smoking is Makruah.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			Now of course there are people till 20
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			24 stuck to the fatwa of 1960. They
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			love it.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:02
			Makruah.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:04
			When
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:05
			the
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:06
			manufacturers
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:07
			themselves,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			not out of love to human beings,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			out of being forced by the government,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			they started putting themselves
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			on the box. What do they put?
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			Smoking kills.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			Allahu Akbar.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			Smoking
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			kills
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			on the box, and it's not in a
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			small letter in the corner. It's a huge
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			big bold letters,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			smoking kills.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:34
			Now,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			the ruling has to change. Right?
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			Since they found out that it's actually kills,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			it's the main cause of cancer,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			the guy who was, for the young guys,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			they do not remember that, but the Marlboro
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			guy died out of cancer.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			The the Marlboro guy who used to promote
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			the smoking, he died out of lung cancer.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:54
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			So they changed the ruling. They said this
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			is kills. And Allah and Surat Al Nisa,
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			he said,
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			Do not kill yourself.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			Right? Do not kill yourself.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			It means do not commit suicide, and at
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			the same time do not kill yourself gradually.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			Right? Because that smoking, it's just like you're
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			taking a drop of poison until it affects
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			and kills you. So the ruling has changed
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			from Makruh to become Haram.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			Haram, officially
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:25
			haram.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			Plus
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			there are many Dalil from the Quran that,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			smoking is haram.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			This was Lataktulunfusakum
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			is first. 2nd,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said in Surat Al
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			Arab that he sent Irasul,
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			yuhil attayedat
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:43
			wayuharim
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			al kaba'ith. Allah
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			sent a messenger that he will make good
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:49
			things
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			halal,
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			and he makes
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:54
			evil things
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:55
			kaba'ith.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			Now, where do you put smoking?
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			In the good things bayibaat or achaba'if?
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			I can I can give you a hint
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			to make it easier for you where to
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			put it? Where do people smoke when they
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			hide?
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:13
			Where?
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15
			In the bathroom. What do you say before
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			you go to the bathroom?
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			So in his smoking is from the. It's
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			from the evil things. Right? And look at
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			this word, yuharim.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			It's the verb from haram.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			Right? It's kabeeth. There's no way
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			any any one of us would stand in
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			front of Allah, and Allah would ask him,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			is smoking tayyb or kabeeth? And he will
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			dare to say, it is tayyb.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			So now of course there are many many
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			other ayaat, do not waste your money.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			The one who waste their money are brothers
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			with shaitan. And, of course, that's a waste
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:56
			of money.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			With that money per month, you can dig
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			a well in in India or in in
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			Bangladesh or in Africa, and
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			feed and give water to so many people.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			So plus the hadith of Rasool Allah sallallahu
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			alaihi wa sallam, very simple straightforward hadith.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			Do not cause
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			harm to others,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			and do not do not harm yourself,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			and do not cause harm to others. And
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			we all
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			know the danger of smoking and the harm,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			and the harm of second
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			hand smoking also. There are so many studies
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			about that. Suyakhwan,
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			the ruling on on on smoking is is
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:35
			haram,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			And whomsoever has been tested by this, this,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			Musiba,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give them shifa,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			and may Allah help them quit. Because we
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			do not make make fun of a sinner.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to cure
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			the sinner and help them quit. So please
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to help you
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			to quit,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			And at the same time,
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			by the time you quit, do not smoke
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			next to the masjid.
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			Please do not smoke in the premises of
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			the masjid. It's not good. It doesn't look
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			good in front of the masjid and doesn't
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			look good in front of our youth who
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			are leaving the masjid. And finally,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			I came with
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			a solution
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			for whomsoever is sincerely
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			willing to quit.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			If you really want to quit,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			I have
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			100%
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			guaranteed
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			method to quit.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:34
			Ready?
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			Anytime you smoke a cigarette,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			you get up, make wudu and pray 2
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:41
			rakah.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			The shaitan will make you quit.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			I told it to a brother 7, 8
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			years ago. He said, Sheikh. I told him,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			are you serious? He said, I'm serious. Are
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			you really serious? He said, I'm serious. I
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			said, okay.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			And I gave him the method. Wallahi, he
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			went down from 2 packets to 1, then
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			to 10 cigarettes. And now, alhamdulillah, he quit
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			because he can't Allah.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:18
			Every 5 minutes
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			to rakah. You know, this is too much.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			Subhanallah, the shaitan will make you quit
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:24
			because
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			By the way, this is a method in
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			our deen. Anytime you want to quit something,
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			say, you know what? If I do it
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			again, I'm gonna fast 3 days.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			I'm gonna give $500,
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			sadaqah.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			By the way, this is another option.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			Every cigarette, $20,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			sadaqah. You know? SubhanAllah. So that is if
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			only you are sincere and there's nobody
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			who really ask Allah Azzawajal sincerely,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			you Allah, help me quit, and Allah will
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			tell him go away.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			Impossible.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			So may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala help us
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			quit this ugly habit, and may Allah help
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			our brothers and sisters whoever smoke inshallah. But
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			still, like I said before, by the time
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala answer you, do not
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			smoke next to the machine. Assamu 'alaykum wa
