Summary
Selling e-liquid for electronic cigarettes is prohibited because the product offers no benefit and causes harm to health. Since the use of electronic cigarettes was declared haram in 2015, selling e-liquid is treated as assisting in something forbidden, and the income from it is not permitted. The questioner is advised to abandon the plan, and existing sellers should work to find other lawful employment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, berdasarkan dalil serta hujah yang telah dikemukakan, kami berpendapat bahawa perniagaan menjual e-liquid pelbagai perisa rokok elektronik adalah ditegah disebabkan barang jualan (e-liquid) tidak memberi sebarang manfaat bahkan mengundang bahaya.
