Is it permissible to smoke cigarettes or Shisha?

QUESTION

Is it permissible to smoke cigarettes or Shisha?

ANSWER

It is not permissible to smoke cigarettes or shisha due to the reason that one’s health is on the balance of probablilities (ghalib al-zann), likely to be harmed from the smoke inhalation caused by such smoking, as indicated by medical studies conducted on the harmful effects of smoking. 

و في الهندية 5 : 340


أَكْلُ الطِّينِ مَكْرُوهٌ ، هَكَذَا ذُكِرَ فِي فَتَاوَى أَبِي اللَّيْثِ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى - وَذَكَرَ شَمْسُ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْحَلْوَانِيُّ فِي شَرْحِ صَوْمِهِ إذَا كَانَ يَخَافُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ لَوْ أَكَلَهُ أَوْرَثَهُ ذَلِكَ عِلَّةً أَوْ آفَةً لَا يُبَاحُ لَهُ التَّنَاوُلُ ، وَكَذَلِكَ هَذَا فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ سِوَى الطِّين

And Allah Knows Best
