Ruling on growing tobacco

Question: 7432

What is the ruling in Islam on growing tobacco and on the money which the fellaheen earn from selling it?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

It is not permissible to grow tobacco, or to sell it or use it, because it is haraam for several reasons, because it is very harmful to the health, because it is filthy and evil (khabeeth), and because there is no benefit in it. Muslims have to give it up and keep away from it, and not grow it or deal in it, because when Allah forbids a thing, He forbids its price.

And Allah knows best.
