Question
Is Cigarette Smoke Considered Impure?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.
Cigarette smoke is not Islamicallay impure. However, it has a repulsive and repugnant smell. Believers should always try to keep their tongues moist with the remembrance of Allah Most High. The odor will make the angels turn away due to it.
Whatever Offends People also Offends Angels
Jabir ibn Abdullah (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “Whoever eats onions, garlic, or leeks should not approach our mosque, for the angels are offended by whatever offends the children of Adam.” [Muslim]
