Can we use nicotine packs or smoke/vape while fasting? -Mufti Abu Layth

nicotine patches right people wearing a nicotine patch right now so and with this vaping smoking I haven't got any I don't I don't smoke people by the way for the record I do not smoke okay some people think that when I give certain rulings it's because I must be following my desires my dog I do not smoke honestly I

can't tolerate the the actual the smoke as in inhaling the smoke to me it's a soap yeah it hurts my lungs I mean hurts my throat like yeah no can do people know it's possibly right so but that's it many of our our brothers and sisters brothers and sisters many of the many of many Muslims do smoke so what is the ruling on wearing a nicotine patch a nicotine

patch is fine people it does not violate the fast right so this has been discussed by the grande Maliki mufti of his era chef mohammad al Aziz Shaikh Mohammed Aziz Al Juliet who was the Grand Mufti of the Maliki and the sheryl islam of his time in tunis who gave this fort when the 60s when he's speaking about things like taking injections or other that into your body and then debating the angle with a Hanafy Mufti what if

they contain nutrients so not just injections but what if you are injecting nutrients into your body and he debates very articulately that why this fast is not about about becoming weak or starving because the whole argument of the Hanafi Musti rested on saying that that would give the person strength and he said I would agree with you if the objective of siamo Ramadan is to become weak but it isn't so so the fat was there I totally

agree with it nicotine and many people today I've given this photo I'm just saying the reason I'm quoting him is because he's quite classical compared to them I mean it's not it's from but at least we're talking you know four or five decades ago but many Olimar today many of the ala marvelous how many of the daughter after the places of iftar throughout the Muslim world in Jordan in other places they've given these kind of what was that nicotine patches are fine vaping I would feel is the same I would feel that it does not violate the fast why because it's not actually nutrients in that say it's not food even though it

is a kind of steam that you are taking in its vape so I'm not saying these are good things I want to be clear here that sometimes people think anything I say is not Haram must automatically be good you must do these things so it's not Haram on a normal day to eat soil doesn't mean you'll start going out and eating swill not everything that is not good for you has to be Haram so when I say something is not Haram I'm not encouraging you to do it I'm just being clear but I will not lie I refuse to lie on behalf of God and say

that it is Haram just to push an agenda in saying that you should not do this I think you should be mature enough to make that decision for yourself or face the consequences yourself so if you are to damage your health by out of your own judgement to do it then it's your body it's your health I would advise you against it but if you do it you know that's something you make a decision to do but I will not lie I refuse to lie on behalf of God and protect that God said it that's the difference

okay so now so vaping it is not I mean it I mean I don't believe it's Haram anyway but I'm just saying I don't believe it violates the fast smoking can become slightly more controversial I mean it is much more controversial than vaping I feel now some Roma have said modern-day orlimar like jamal al banna from egypt and there are a few of the kind of modern-day scholars that have like if you if you look online they have said some people from al-azhar and other

places have given the fatwa that smoking does not violate the fast you see to me I would say I mean I I generally tell people to abstain from smoking anyway although I do not believe smoking is Haram I've made that very clear but that said I believe it's no good for a person's health now if a person followed that fatwa if they felt that they needed to smoke and they couldn't nothing else could do it and they followed that person generally I would say that look don't smoke and resort to patches nicotine patches and things like this

and this is a great opportunity to stop smoking that said some people have said it is permissible and it does not violate the fast they have based this on prior 'fuck understandings that in fact many of the Olimar said by just inhaling smoke from a fire so if you sat on a let's say you sat by a fire and you inhale the smoke you do not violate the fast most I mean I mean many all Imam would traditionally accept it that that did not result in breaking the fast so the point was he was basing it on that in saying well what's the difference now

somebody could say well this has some nutritional one would argue it's not a nutritional per se you know whether it's the carbon monoxide that is inhaled or nicotine it's not a nutrient like that as he something that's going to make you grow and that kind of a nutrient but you do what you mean by it contains certain ingredients that will be absorbed by that by the bloodstream now that is true but so what one may argue some would smoke contains certain dangerous elements just regular smoke from a fire by inhaling that it would have you know whether you're going to inhale carbon monoxide all the factors that are

dangerous in the air I mean from smoke but they don't break the fast that's what I'm trying to say so I do feel that if people took that ruling although I would generally I would advise people my own advice my own ruling is to resort to patches but these fatwas do exist and people have given them and if somebody followed them all they blameworthy I don't think they I don't think we can blame each other in fifth anyway okay we're not in a position to blame each other what you can do is adopt the ruling for yourself if I smoked I I mean

I say this but I don't smoke so I don't know what it's like for a smoker but I will probably resort to the patches that's what I would do and that's what I'd advise people right next lipstick and perfume somebody has said Ayub has asked and doesn't cigarettes effect and stuff consciousness as well as for smoke is not really consciousness in that sense but it does have an addiction and the blood actually has a much greater affinity to things like carbon monoxide ironically then it does even for oxygen which makes no sense

which means you're hardwired for destruction but that's biology for you huh amounts of aid is in the house Alamos Atlanta
