Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Board ruled that smoking shisha is haram. It contradicts the objectives of Islamic law because it harms health, wastes time and wealth, and is considered among despicable matters. The ruling relies on the legal maxim of blocking the means to harm. Providing shisha services, such as selling it or related activities, is also prohibited.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum menghisap shisha adalah haram di sisi syarak kerana ianya jelas menyalahi 'maqasid syar'iyyah' iaitu memudaratkan kesihatan, membazir dan mensia-siakan masa dan harta serta termasuk dalam perkara keji.
