Is it permissible for a husband to ask his wife to put a cigarette in her mouth without lighting it during intercourse, or to smoke it at the same time?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Smoking is forbidden by Islamic law for everyone, at all times, and under all circumstances. It is not permissible to obey a creature in a matter that involves disobedience to the Creator. Therefore, if a husband asks his wife to smoke, it is unlawful for her to obey him in this. Placing a cigarette in the mouth without smoking it may be a pretext for smoking and may normalize the act of disobedience. Moreover, this request is strange, as what is expected is the request for what is good, not what is evil.
