Summary
Smoking invalidates the fast according to the majority of scholars, since habitual smokers find the effect of cigarettes in their hearts or lungs. Sheikh Hasanain Makhluf held that the fast is broken, the person must make up the day and is liable for kaffarah according to the more preferred opinion. This view is reported from Ibn Abidin and al-Syarambalali in Imdad al-Fattah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Merokok membatalkan puasa, seperti pendapat jumhur ulama kerana mereka yang ketagih rokok didapati pada hatinya atau paru-parunya kesan dari rokok.
