Summary
Smoking is forbidden wherever one is, including inside the toilet. The fatwa also lists toilet etiquette such as reciting the supplications before entering and after leaving, entering with the left foot and leaving with the right, and not staying long inside. Smoking in the toilet encourages lingering, and Muslims are advised to avoid cigarettes because of their harm.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, hukum menghisap rokok walaupun dimana sahaja kita berada, di dalam tandas ataupun diluar pada tandas hukumnya tetap haram.
