Description
Smoking, Intoxicants & Narcotics by Muhammad ibn Mustafa al‑Jibaly is a focused and practical guide addressing three related harms from an Islamic legal and moral perspective. The book critically examines smoking, emphasizing its addictive nature, detrimental effects, and the widespread tendency to minimize its danger among Muslims; al‑Jibaly argues that smoking should be viewed not as a mere disliked habit but—given its proven harms—as prohibited. He also explores the rulings related to intoxicants, detailing the prohibition of alcohol and other mind-altering substances with clear reference to Qur’anic directives and Prophetic commandments. Furthermore, the author discusses narcotics—such as marijuana and khat—highlighting their physical, psychological, and social damages, and concludes that their use is strongly prohibited unless in strictly defined medical scenarios. Across roughly 145 pages, the book presents legal rulings, moral guidance, and health insights grounded in Islamic sources, with the aim of guiding readers toward healthier, more principled personal conduct and a spiritually sound lifestyle.
