So, uh, that one time I walked into my room (in halls) with a cigarette but stuck to my shoe that managed to come off and remain next to the door. Needless to say, parents, er. came to visit me in the next few days.
Since when did jurists rule that smoking tobacco is haram? Hashish I can understand, but tobacco was always makru. or was it? Hanafis have always been quite truculent in their use of analogical reasoning.
Tobacco is very harmful for the body no matter what the government do about it. After all they are being lobbied by cigarette manufacturers. This new realisation is now dawning into the minds of scholars like Naik now, who declared them haram. Strange you need a scholar to know what is good or bad for you.
