Smoking: Makruh?




Assalamu'alaikum...

Smoking is makruh?
Or was makruh?

Smoking WAS makruh

Was?
Why?

Simple...
Long long ago some scholars use the daleel that prohibit Muslims to come to the mosque if they had consumed garlic just before that...
Because it'll disturb other people when praying...

At that time, scholars didn't know the long term effects of smoking such as lung cancer and so on....

Smoking not only affects the smoker, it also affects people around and the environment...

Smokers not only kill themselves, but everyone else...

Contemporary scholars concluded that smoking IS haram due to the fact that it brings more harm than good...

Smoking is an addiction...
Just like drugs...
It's not easy to stop...

Ramadhan is the best opportunity for smokers to quit smoking...

If you love yourself, your God, your family, and the environment, please STOP smoking...

It's never too late for anything...

I still remember a pantun in front of a clinic in my old house in Taman Selasih:

Ayam berkokok di atas batang,
Hisap rokok penyakit datang.
