Summary
The Negeri Sembilan Fatwa Committee ruled that using a shisha to smoke tobacco and/or tobacco products is haram. The prohibition rests on texts from the Quran and Hadith and on legal maxims, in order to protect the five basic objectives of sharia: religion, life, intellect, lineage and property. The fatwa states that the practice clearly harms health, is wasteful, squanders time and wealth, and is classed as a bad or abhorrent act.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
