Summary
Working in a cigarette factory or a factory that makes machines for cigarette production is haram. The ruling rests on the decision that smoking is haram, and on the principles that cooperating in what is haram, and whatever leads to the haram, is also haram. Those already in such work should strive to find other lawful employment as soon as possible. While waiting, they may remain in the job, especially if they have dependants, but they must reject it in their hearts.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Secara tuntasnya, hukum bekerja di kilang rokok atau di kilang yang membuat mesin untuk penghasilan rokok, hukumnya haram. Ini kerana apa yang membawa kepada haram, maka hukumnya juga haram.
