Summary
The Special Muzakarah of the Fatwa Committee of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs Malaysia, held on 17 July 2013, ruled that shisha is haram. Muslims are prohibited from smoking it, providing shisha smoking services, or taking part in any related activity. The decision followed expert briefings from the Ministry of Health and medical evidence on its harm to health, the national economy and future generations. The prohibition is based on Quranic and Hadith texts and legal maxims, in order to protect the objectives of the Shariah.
