Summary
The Negeri Sembilan Fatwa Committee adopted the 2015 National Fatwa Committee decision and ruled that using e-cigarettes and vape is haram. Muslims are prohibited from smoking them or engaging in any activity related to them. The ruling rests on harm to health, harm to people nearby, wastefulness, risk of misuse, analogy with conventional cigarettes, blocking the means to harm (sadd al-dharīʿah) and public interest. E-cigarettes and vape have also not been proven as a method of quitting smoking.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, umat Islam adalah dilarang menghisap rokok elektronik dan vape atau apa-apa aktiviti yang berkaitan dengan rokok elektronik dan vape.
