Summary
The fatwa states that the prohibition of vaping does not rest on nicotine alone. Other grounds are its effect on attitude and tasyabbuh, which is imitating non-Islamic culture. The practice is therefore to be avoided on the basis of the principle of saddu al-dzari'ah, blocking the means to harm.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pengharaman menghisap vape bukan semata-mata kerana nikotin tetapi kerana kesan terhadap attitude atau sikap, tasyabbuh atau peniruan dengan budaya bukan Islam.
