Summary
The national fatwa has ruled that smoking is haram according to Islamic law. On that basis, the Masjid Jamek Bandar Baru Uda Johor Bahru cooperative should respect the ruling by not selling cigarettes at the BBU market. This is stressed all the more because the market is run by the mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Fatwa kebangsaan telah menghukumkan bahawa merokok adalah haram menurut hukum syarak.
