The answer

Hashish, in all its forms, is forbidden based on what was narrated by Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) "prohibited every intoxicant and every weakening agent." It intoxicates, narcotizes, and weakens. Al-Qarafi and Ibn Taymiyyah both reached a consensus on its prohibition, and whoever deems it permissible has committed an act of disbelief. It is not permissible to use intoxicants and narcotics in any form due to their severe harms to the mind, soul, family, and society. Allah has not placed the cure for this nation in that which He has forbidden to it. Therefore, treating stress and anxiety is not through hashish, but rather by frequently seeking forgiveness, performing ablution and prayer, remembering Allah, often invoking blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him), having good expectations of Allah, and relying upon Him.
