Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Council ruled that electronic cigarettes and vapes are haram. The reasons given are that they contradict the objectives of Islamic law by harming health, wasting time and wealth, and falling under things deemed foul. The ruling accords with the fiqh maxim of saddu al-zari'ah, closing the door to harm, so anything that can endanger a person should be avoided.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum rokok elektronik dan vape adalah haram di sisi syarak kerana ianya jelas menyalahi maqasid syariah iaitu memudaratkan kesihatan, membazir dan mensia-siakan masa dan harta serta termasuk dalam perkara keji.
