Tobacco

Q 1: What is the ruling of Islam on growing tobacco seeds and on the money earned by the farmers through selling it?

A: It is impermissible to grow, sell or use tobacco, as it is Haram (prohibited) in many aspects, due to its dangerous effects on health, its harmfulness and uselessness. A Muslim should quit it and abstain from growing it or trading in it. If Allah prohibits something, this entails that its price is prohibited. And Allah knows best. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
