❖ Ruling on Wudu and Rinsing the Mouth After Smoking

Source: Fatawa Amun Puri by Shaykh Ghulam Mustafa Zaheer Amun Puri

❀ Question:

I smoke, but when I hear the mu’adhdhin’s call, I enter the mosque. Do I need to perform wudu again, or is rinsing the mouth sufficient?

❀ Answer:

Smoking is harmful to health, causes many deadly diseases, and is therefore haram. It has numerous harms, and its foul odor is a source of discomfort for Muslims.

As for the given case: smoking does not break wudu; rinsing the mouth is sufficient.
