Is it permissible to buy tobacco

Q: My father owns a shop that sells water pipes and dominos along with many other home utensils. I advised him many times regarding this matter. Even though he knows that smoking cigarettes is Haram (prohibited), he believes that selling water pipes is not. So, please send me a Fatwa regarding the ruling on selling smoking utensils and dominos, and swearing while buying and selling. Also, please advise him regarding the punishment of Haram earnings and the importance of the Halal (lawful) earnings.


A: Selling water pipes and their utensils is Haram because of the great evils and harms they contain. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
