Is it permissible to smoke hookah?
Question
Can we smoke hookah?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle, it is makrooh to smoke hookah. However, if the hookah intoxicates, smoking it will be impermissible.[1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
