Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that smoking any kind of cigarette, shisha, vape or electronic cigarette is haram. The reasons given include the prohibition against self-destruction, the prohibition against harming oneself and others, harm to health, waste of time and wealth, and the principle of closing the door to harm. Muslims are forbidden from involvement in all activities related to these products and from aiding others in such acts. The fatwa revokes the earlier fatwa on smoking gazetted on 18 November 2004.
