Question:
Salaam,
May Allah grant Shaykh a long and prosperous life.
Nowadays a new trend is out for shisha and this is the shisha pen, are we allowed to do this? I have read that it has no tar or tobacco etc , only lasts for 500 puffs. Please would you kindly enlighten on this.
Salaam to Shaykh Nazim and Shaykh Hishaam and prayer request for us.
Answer:
Wa `Alaykum Salam,
There is no difference between cigarette smoking and shisha smoking. Mureeds of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim are forbidden to smoke but should uphold the dignity and integrity of our Shuyukh, in both private and public, for they have been clear and sound against smoking. Period.
