Mufti Menk – WEED! IS IT REALLY HARAM

			Assalamu alaikum weed and the controversy, is there any permissible use of weed? The answer is there
is an extract of weed that happens to be non intoxicating. It's a clear liquid known as CBD,
sometimes it is added into various multivitamins or supplements and sometimes foodstuffs. That is
permissible because it is not intoxicating at all. So, that's the CBD. In fact, it has a lot of
health benefits, it actually boosts your immune system and can fight certain diseases. Perhaps
		

			the homeopaths might tell you more about it, the experts have it if you read up about the benefits
of CBD oil and CBD extract of marijuana or we'd in Arabic known as El Benge, or in some of the
African languages known as bangi soheila. So, there is an extract you can get from it that is non
intoxicating and extremely beneficial. That's the CBD. But what about the THC? Well, the THC is also
an extract of the weed, but it happens to be slightly intoxicating, sometimes a little bit more.
Does it have any benefits any medicinal benefits? My brothers and sisters, the medicinal benefits of
THC are known, you can read up on them, you will actually be surprised people have been cured from
		

			cancer. A lot of people have had their tumors eradicated. Many people have been cured of epileptic
fits that have been happening to them for years on end. And that is by the correct use of the THC in
extremely small doses together with a disciplined diet, but you need to learn about it there is
medicinal benefit in the extracts of weed. And like I said the CBD no question about it. The THC
only when absolutely necessary for some of the diseases and you would need to contact a homeopathic
doctor or perhaps an expert in weed Suhana law. Some of the doctors that normal medicinal doctors
may not even approve of it. They might not even know about it. Some of them would acknowledge Yeah,
		

			you know, it does have some benefits. I know of people who have been cured like I said, but let me
make it clear my brothers and sisters the social smoking of weed is not allowed. It's not allowed my
brothers and sisters I you know what it does have an element of intoxication. And if it's done for
social purposes, it is totally prohibited the Hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
clearly says masskara kathira hufa kalila haram that which intoxicates you in large quantities, even
a small quantity of it is prohibited. So the social use of it is not allowed medicinal use of it. If
it is really needed, and it has been prescribed by someone who's an expert, then yes, it may be
		

			used. So remember this, my brothers and sisters, I hope I've clarified and spoken about three
things. The CBD being okay because it's non intoxicating, very beneficial, extremely good for your
health, immune booster. But when it comes to the THC, you remember it's only administered to those
who needed as a medication for some serious sickness or illness or disease, cancer, some tumors etc.
It does help to be honest with you it has had that effect on so many people Alhamdulillah But once
again, the social views no not allowed. So let's not think oh wow, weed is legalized. Just like
cigarettes are legalized alcohol is legalized that is a secular legalization or the legalization in
		

			your country that doesn't run by the the rules and regulations of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So even
if it may be legal in your country doesn't mean that from an Islamic perspective, it is allowed or
legal. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us goodness and understanding and May Allah subhanho wa
Taala help us all those of you who might be hooked on to it, it is still considered a drug in Islam
and get off it inshallah, we not not just wean yourself off it but just get off it. Really To be
honest, you must try your best to move out of these bad habits, because ultimately they would harm
you. I want to say once again, that for medicinal purposes. It is it does have a scope of
		

			permissibility will Elmore in the law. May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us all Jazakallah Fay
assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato
