| [slm] IN Islam anything that is harmful to the body and mind is not allowed. [i]Allah says (interpretation of the meaning) in surat al-A'raaf (7:157): "And He makes good things halaal for them and bad things haraam." Prophet SAWS (peace be upon him) said: "There is no harm or causing of harm (in Islaam)." (Arabic "laa darar wa laa diraar") SAWS (peace be upon him) also said: "A person will not be able to move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about ... his body as to what he engaged it in." Prophet SAWS: "Your body has a right on you." The Prophet SAWS (peace be upon him) said: "A person will not be able to move on the Day of Judgment until he is asked about ..... what he owned as to how he spent it." [/i] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Part of answer from: http://www.understanding-islam.com/related/text.asp?type=question&qid=103 [quote]As far as the third question is concerned, it seems obvious that Islam prohibits intoxicants because of the potential affect that such intoxicants have on the human intellect, the human faculty of reasoning and the human conscience. As we know, according to Islam, the life of this world is a testing time for man. We are being tested intellectually - whether or not we behave as true seekers of truth - as well as in our general behavior - whether or not we act according to what we hold to be right. We, as human beings, qualify for this test because of our intellect, our faculty of reasoning and our conscience. All such things that temporarily or permanently deprive us of these distinctive qualities that our Creator has bestowed upon us are actually a refusal to take and face the test of life. They are actually a self-imposed disqualification from taking the test in which our Lord - in His absolute wisdom and mercy - has put us. All such things, in other words, are in effect a refusal to take the test, which our Lord has decided for us to take and are therefore, not allowed by the Islamic Shari`ah. [/quote] |

| [slm] some info from http://www.islamonline.net/fatwa/english/FatwaDisplay.asp?hFatwaID=72331 Islam Prohibits Alcohol and Drugs Date of Fatwa 15/ June/ 2002 Date of Reply 15/ June/ 2002 Topic Of Fatwa Islamic Penal Law Question of Fatwa How much alcohol and drugs does the religion allow? Name of Mufti Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi Content of Reply In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger. Dear sister in Islam, we would like to thank you for showing keenness on knowing the teachings of Islam, and we appreciate the great confidence you have in us. We hope our efforts meet your expectations, yet we apologize for the late reply. The general rule in Islam is that any beverage that get people intoxicated when taken is unlawful, both in small and large quantities, whether it is alcohol, drugs, fermented raisin drink, or something else. In his book Al-Halal wal Haram fil Islam (The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam) Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi states the following: “The first declaration made by the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, concerning this matter was that not only is Khamr (wine or alcohol) prohibited but that the definition of Khamr extends to any substance that intoxicates, in whatever form or under whatever name it may appear. Thus, beer and similar drinks are haram. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was once asked about certain drinks made from honey, corn, or barley by the process of fermenting them until they became alcoholic. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, succinctly replied, "Every intoxicant is Khamr, and every Khamr is haram." Reported by Muslim.) And `Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, declared from the pulpit of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that "Khamr is that which befogs the mind." (Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.) Islam takes an uncompromising stand in prohibiting intoxicants, regardless of whether the amount is little or much. If an individual is permitted to take but a single step along this road, other steps follow; he starts walking and then running, and does not stop at any stage. That is why the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Of that which intoxicates in a large amount, a small amount is haram." (Reported by Ahmad Abu Dawood, and At-Tirmidhi.) And again, "If a bucketful intoxicates, a sip of it is haram." (Reported by Ahmad, Abu Dawood, and At-Tirmidhi.) Prohibition of Drugs: "Khamr is what befogs the mind." These are the words spoken by `Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, from the pulpit of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, providing us with a decisive criterion for defining what falls under the prohibited category of khamr. There remains then no room for doubts and questions: any substance which has the effect of befogging or clouding the mind, impairing its faculties of thought, perception, and discernment is prohibited by Allah and His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, and will remain so until the Day of Judgment. Drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, opium, and the like are definitely included in the prohibited category of khamr. It is well known that the use of such drugs affects the sensory perceptions, making what is near seem distant and what is distant seem near; that their use produces illusions and hallucinations, so that the real seems to disappear and what is imaginary appears to be real; and that taking drugs in general impairs the faculty of reasoning and decision-making. Such drugs are taken as a means of escape from the inner reality of one's feelings and the outer realities of life and religion into the realm of fantasy and imagination. Added to this psychological fact are the physical effects: bodily lassitude, dullness of the nerves, and decline in overall health. The moral consequences, moral insensitivity, weakening of the will power, and neglect of responsibilities are also well known. Eventually, drug addiction weakens a person and makes him a diseased member of society. Furthermore, drug addiction may result in the destruction of the family or even drive one to a life of crime. Since obtaining drugs involves a great outlay of money, drug addiction may take its toll on the family budget and even it may tempt the drug addict to resort to illegal means to pay for drugs. When we recall the principle that all impure and harmful things have been made haram, there can be no doubt in our minds concerning the prohibition of such detestable substances such as drugs, which cause so much physical, psychological, moral, social and economic harm. Muslim jurists are unanimous on the prohibition of those drugs which were found during their respective times and places. Foremost among them was Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, who said: “This solid grass (hashish) is haram, whether or not it produces intoxication. Sinful people smoke it because they imagine it producing rapture and delight, an effect similar to drunkenness. While wine makes the one who drinks it active and quarrelsome, hashish produces dullness and lethargy; furthermore, smoking it disturbs the mind and temperament, excites sexual desire, and leads to shameless promiscuity, and these are greater evils than those caused by drinking. This perverted habit has spread among the people after the coming of the Tartars. The hadd (prescribed punishment) for smoking hashish, whether a small or large amount of it, is the same as that for drinking wine, that is, eighty or forty lashes. He explained the imposition of hadd for smoking hashish in the following manner: It is the rule of the Islamic Shari'ah that any prohibited thing which is desired by people, such as wine and illicit sexual relations, is to be punished by imposing hadd, while the violation of a prohibited thing which is not desired, such as (eating) the flesh of a dead animal, calls for Ta'zeer (disciplinary punishment). Now hashish is something desired and craved for, and it is hard for the addict to renounce it. Accordingly, the application of the texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah to hashish is similar to that of wine. (Fatawa Ibn Taymiyyah, vol. 4, p. 262 f. Also see his book, As-Siyasah Ash-Shar'iyyah.) Do keep in touch. If you have any other question, don't hesitate to write to us. Allah Almighty knows best. |

| [slm] heyyyyyyyy bro Mohsin We had a discussion about this earlier also. here is a fatwa from www.askimam.com ( http://www.islam.tc/ask-imam/view.php?q=7499 ) [hr] "smoking in bathroom halal? Marijuana halal for recreational purposes? Salaam my name is moonshine. I have a problem with smoking; I’m only 16yrs and smoke everyday. My mom gets mad so I now smoke in the bathroom so that she can’t find out I smoke, is this ok? I have tried quitting but society puts a great amount of pressure on me. Another question is marijuana halal? It will be legal here in Canada as its all ready widely available. Do you think muslims in canada are at a risk with marijuana being legalized for recreational use? Answer 7499 2002-12-18 At the outset, we wish to state that it is reprehensible to smoke. According to many scholars, it is Haraam (strictly prohibited) as it is injurious to health. You should bring the courage and work towards quitting smoking by gradually reducing the number of cigarettes per day. There are also tablets and smoking patches available to assist you to quit smoking. Regard the anger of your mother as an aid to quit smoking. It is Fardh (compulsory) to please your mother. To displease her is a major sin. It is correct for your mother to be angry with you as she cannot bear to witness you harming yourself. Request her to assist you in giving up smoking. The pressure of her anger on you is therefore conducive to you giving up smoking. Look for other ways acceptable in Shari’ah to avent the social pressure. The ruling of Marijuana is the same as smoking. It also leads to addiction and is a stepping stone for harder drugs. Dear brother, tell us where you reside in Canada and we shall assist you further depending on your location, Insha Allah. You are young and can make your life a meaningful and peaceful one. Don’t ruin your youth and future. Life is too precious to be wasted at anytime. and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best Mufti Ebrahim Desai" |

| [slm] Hey Bro Mohsin I KNO WHO U R!!!! LOL LOL dude this is funny after reading all your posts ive figured out who u are!! U better not be smoking this stuff!! ;) :-/ check this quote out! "Persons using this narcotic smoke the dried leaves of the plant, which has the effect of driving them completely insane. Addicts to this drug, while under its influence, are immune to pain, and could be severely injured without having any realization of their condition. While in this condition they become raving maniacs and are liable to kill or indulge in any form of violence to other persons, using the most savage methods of cruelty without, as said before, any sense of moral responsibility." – Emily Murphy, the first woman to become a member of Parliament and one of the "Famous Five" who helped Canadian women become "persons" under the law, was also an early anti-marijuana activist. In her 1922 book The Black Candle, Murphy called marijuana the "new menace." |

| Does anyone agree that "kaahhd" (I don't know many Arabic words but that's the way it sounds) the green stuff that goes in water the people hold in their mouths as gum is haram as well? I think it is because people say it relaxes them which really alters their state of being. |
