Does smoking nullify ablution, and what is the evidence for that?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Smoking does not nullify ablution, even though it is forbidden. The basic principle is that ablution is only nullified by an impurity () or by causes that are likely to lead to an impurity, such as deep sleep, fainting, or intoxication. Anything other than these is not considered a nullifier.
