Summary

The Kelantan fatwa decided on 25 May 2014 rules that smoking cigarettes and shisha is haram. Its reasons are that both are classed as impure things (khaba'ith) and harm the smoker and those nearby, as affirmed by medical experts. The fatwa also states that the habit wastes wealth, time and energy, and relies on the fiqh maxim that whatever is harmful is forbidden.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
