Lo que el islam enseña sobre Fumar y vapear
Según el islam, Fumar y vapear se considera Haram (prohibido).
La mayoría de los eruditos islámicos clasifican fumar como haram (prohibido) porque causa daño a uno mismo, algo prohibido en el islam. El vapeo recibe el mismo trato. Algunos eruditos lo consideran makruh (desaconsejable), pero la sentencia moderna dominante es haram.

Islamic scholars widely classify smoking as haram based on two core principles: the prohibition of self-harm (la darar wa la dirar) and the prohibition of wasting wealth (israf). The Quran explicitly states 'Do not throw yourselves into destruction' (2:195). Since tobacco causes documented disease and death, and since vaping introduces similar addictive chemicals, the ruling applies equally. Some scholars distinguish between makruh (strongly disliked) and haram (forbidden), but modern consensus increasingly falls on haram given overwhelming medical evidence.
