Is giving one's children firewood to a woman who uses it for smoking shisha, at the father's request, considered cooperation in sin, or is each person responsible for their own actions?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to give firewood to a woman who uses it as charcoal for smoking shisha, because this is considered assisting in sin. Allah Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Obedience to a parent or the woman's supplication does not justify forbidden assistance. Rather, one must apologize and explain the prohibition of shisha and its harms gently and wisely.
