What is the ruling on writing: "Have you invoked blessings upon the Prophet today?" and "O Allah, bless Muhammad whenever he is remembered by those who remember him, and bless and grant him peace whenever he is neglected by those who neglect him," and "O Allah, You are forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive us," on the rear window of a car with the intention of reminding people and earning reward, and what is the ruling on listening to the Qur'an while smoking?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Smoking is forbidden due to the harm it causes and the waste of money involved, and because it falls under the general meaning of Allah Almighty’s saying: {And He makes lawful for them the good things and makes unlawful for them the impure things}. Smoking while listening to the Qur'an is even more forbidden and heinous, as it involves disrespecting the sanctity of the Qur'an and failing to observe its sacredness, and committing a sin in places designated for worship. Therefore, smoking must be avoided absolutely, and its abandonment is especially confirmed when drawing closer to Allah through remembrance, reciting the Qur'an, or listening to it.
