If you are reading this, you are either
probably a ‘vaper’, smoker, or someone who wants to know what vaping is
all about. Thankfully, this article is meant for all three.
Lately, the vaping craze is growing by
the day in our country, instantly becoming the new ‘in thing’ since it
was introduced about five years ago.
Guess it comes as no surprise as Ibrahim
Mohamed, co-organiser of the recent Vaporizer Convention Kuala Lumpur
2015, says we are after all the second largest in the world after the
United States, and the biggest in Asia.
It has also gained notoriety, from
police catching marijuana-filled vapers resulting to the Federal
Territories Office of the Mufti issuing an ‘Irsyad fatwa’ claiming that
vaping is ‘haram’ (forbidden).
An ‘Irsyad’, issued by the Office of the
Mufti, serves as a religious guidance and aims to address various
issues related to Islamic perspectives and practises in relation to
modern times.
According to Federal Territories Mufti,
Datuk Dr. Zulkifli Mohamad al-Bakri who explained via his Facebook and
the Mufti website, vaping is forbidden because “it has been the most
popular reason as a substitute for cigarettes”.
