Do not allow Smoking in Your Home

There is enough evidence (for those who are wise) that smoking is haraam in the words of Allah (interpretation of the meaning): “… [Allah] allows them as lawful al-tayyibaat [(i.e., all good and lawful) as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, food, etc.] and prohibits them as unlawful al-khabaa’ith (i.e., all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, food, etc.)…” [Surah al-A’raaf, 7:157].

Allah has divided food and drink into two categories, not three. There are things that are good and permissible, and there are things that are evil and forbidden. Who could dare to say nowadays that smoking is good, when we know how it stinks and we know how much money is wasted on it and how much physical damage is caused as a result of smoking?

The righteous home should have no lighters or ashtrays, not even those that are given away free as promotional gifts, let alone narghiles (“hubble-bubbles”) and the like.

If you are afraid that people may smoke in your home, put up stickers to hint to people that you do not want them to smoke. If you realize that someone wants to commit this sin in front of you, you have to stop him in whatever way is appropriate.
