An Ottoman Manifesto Against Smoking

Smoking was first introduced to the Muslim world by the British in the 11th/17th centuries. It passed from the Ottomans to India and the rest of the Muslim world. Rulings of jurists regarding smoking differed based on their comprehension of the problems associated with it. Initially, it was likened to intoxicants and considered impermissible (ḥarām). As it became more popular, the view shifted to permissibility (mubāḥ). However, as jurists established the extent of its harmfulness, they settled on a middle position of reprehensibility (makrūh).

In this epistle, al-Aqḥiṣārī approaches the issue in orderly, methodical, coherent and balanced manner.
