Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that smoking vape is haram. The prohibition also covers any activity involving vape devices and related items. The decision rests on general Quranic and hadith evidence against self-harm, analogy (qiyas) with drinking poisonous substances, the principle of public interest (maslahah), and blocking the means to harm (sadd dzarai').
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menghisap vape adalah haram kerana ianya satu amalan yang bertentangan dengan hukum syara'.
