Summary
Using electronic cigarettes and vape is haram, according to the decision of the Special Muzakarah of the Fatwa Committee of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs Malaysia on 21 December 2015. The Irsyad also rejects the claim that these devices are merely a means of quitting smoking gradually, since such a claim appears to justify the means. The discussion cites medical experts on nicotine content, harmful chemicals and health harms to users.
