Drugs and the Shariah
Brothers and sisters, the Shariah guides to every good deed and
forbids every evil deed.
Hashish
Hashish is a kind of drugs; it
is produced from the hemp. Hashish is forbidden in Islam; Imam Az-Zahaby in his book, Al-Kabaer (the
grave sins), says: "Hashish, which is made of hemp leaf, is
forbidden like the wine; who smokes hashish would be as punished as
the one who drinks wine. Hashish is harmer than wine because it
ruins both mind and mood and makes the man effeminates and does not
care for the chastity of his women. On the other hand, wine is
harmer than hashish because it leads to quarrel and dispute; both
wine and hashish prevent remembering Allah and performing prayer …
It is said that hashish is impure like wine, and this is true …
Anyway it is included in what Allah and His messenger had
prohibited, and it is included in the prophet's, peace be upon him,
saying: "All intoxicants are forbidden."
Drug
tablets
These tablets are very
harmful, because they are made purposely for evil known causes.
Moreover they contain great amount of harmful substances including
a substance which is said that it is a mix of alcohol, anesthetic
and opium. The following are some of the harms of this
substance:
1.
It is harmful and intoxicant;
we have been prohibited, in the Hadeeth that is narrated by Ahmed
and Abu Dawud, from having any harmful or intoxicant
substance.
2.
Experiments had found that
having these tablets hurt the brain and, in some cases, cause
dementia. Moreover, they develop unnatural secretions cause
vomiting, dizziness and accelerate heart beats.
3.
Addicting these tablets causes
spleen purulence that gets worse by time till the point of no
return. The spleen becomes totally damaged and inters the phase of
swell and rot besides secreting strange substances weaken the
strength gradually to ultimately kill the addict. What would be his
excuse when he meets Allah almighty Who prohibited every harmful
thing, warned him and forbade taking one's own life?
4.
The addict person ruins his
family and dignity by his own hand. Moreover he loses his status in
the Muslim community.
5.
He becomes an evil model for
whoever imitates him. And he would be required to bear the burden
like that of one who followed his evil practices without theirs is
diminished in any respect.
6.
This kind of people opens the
gates of evil and invites the others to it. Invitation to evil
deeds is not by words only; rather it is by actions also. Whoever
addicts drugs and incites the others (by his actions) to do the
same, would have the burden like that of who followed his evil deed
(without theirs is diminished in any respect) for knowing the truth
and rejecting it.
7.
Drug tablets' harm is not
confined to who takes it; rather it affects his family, children
and companions because of socializing.
8.
Experiments had found that
these tablets destroy the body, because taking such tablets causes
the spread of diseases as we have mentioned earlier.
9.
These tablets cause
neurological convulsions and paralyses of extremities as a result
of blood clotting which causes circularity disorder. These things
lead to weakness and heart attacks affects rest and hardens
life.
10.
These tablets cause blur like
the blur that the drunken person feel it, however this kind of blur
is more dangerous and chronic; it makes the person see mixed and
doubled pictures. Moreover, he may see the colors
differently.
11.
Having drugs develop fear in
the heart of the addict; his fear accompanies him all the time. He
fears the evil end and the diseases in addition to other fears
prevent him from sleeping and foresight. It lowers his spirit,
takes from him the factors of manhood. Therefore he abandons all
virtues, gains all vices and become of the worst of (moving) living
creatures with Allah; the deaf and the dumb, who understand
not.
O believer brothers, fear
Allah by not hurting yourselves and protecting it from the
punishment as a result of passing prohibited pleasure. Take care of
these killer intoxicants and take lessons of their uncountable
victims who had gone with their deeds; Allah almighty reproached
who made his whims his god; He almighty said: "Have you seen he who
has taken as his god his [own] desire, and Allah has sent him
astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his
heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after
Allah? Then will you not be reminded?" [Al-Jathiya 45:23]

O my God, return those who got
strayed from the right path to it again, and protect us all, by
your mercy, from the torment of the hellfire. O Allah, endear the
Faith to us and beautify it in our hearts, make disbelief,
wickedness and disobedience hateful to us, and make us among the
rightly guided. Amen.
Dear brother, having drugs is
a crime involving moral turpitude and leads to prison.
