Re: Is smoking haram?....
You want me to believe someone who is a convert scholar and who is in USA and stating something completely new like this? What about the Arabian traditional hukka thats considered as smoking also. It is makrooh not haraam entirely. If he is talking something in reality to stop smokers from smoking thats another thing but Including it in a religion is completely haraam and biddat.
And there are not "anymores" like bible updates in Islam. Its called biddat. :)
