Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Smoking is forbidden (), and whoever does it must repent to Allah. As for the saying "not respectable" concerning a female smoker, it is preferable to avoid it, but it may have become common among people because a woman's smoking is one of the most detestable habits that have spread among corrupt women. This expression has thus become a customary term used in this sense.
