Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am a weak servant of Allah and often succumb to the temptation of smoking weed. I want to know if smoking weed will break my wudu, and if any prayers that were performed after smoking, (without making wudu after consuming), are required to be made up?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alcohol and drugs are prohibited in Islam and are harmful to your body and soul. It is important to do Tawbah and seek help to break this habit. The Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) said:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every intoxicant is Khamr, and every intoxicant is unlawful.[1]<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

Weed being an intoxicant (Muskir) also falls under the ruling (Hukm) of Khamr. Fatawa Hindiyyah states:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(And among them are fainting, insanity, swooning\/unconsciusness, and drunkenness.) Fainting invalidates ablution, whether it is a little or a lot, and likewise, insanity, swoon, and drunkenness in this chapter is that a man cannot recognize a man from a woman.[2]<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If someone becomes severely intoxicated or high to the point where they cannot distinguish between a man and a woman, their Wudu is considered broken. This is because in such a state, a person is unable to fully comprehend or control their actions and are unaware of their surroundings. If they were to break their Wudu during this state, they would neither notice nor remember it. Therefore, any prayers or obligatory acts of worship performed in this condition must be made up. Once the effects of intoxication or being high subside, Wudu must be made before offering Sal\u0101t (prayers).<\/span><\/p>\n
