Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that shisha is haram. Muslims are prohibited from smoking shisha, providing shisha services or engaging in any activity related to shisha. The ruling followed a review of medical and scientific evidence on harm to health, the economy and future generations, and is based on Quranic texts, Hadith and fiqh maxims such as blocking the means to harm.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
