Answers to: Is using marijuana permissible in
Islam?<p><strong>Salaams, brothers and sisters. Please take the
time to read this, I know its a huge post, but please help a
brother in need of guidance.</strong></p> <p>I am a 24 year old
Muslim from India. I pray my salaah often (not as much as I
would like, InshaAllah, I will pray more). I constantly (like
4-5 times an hour) read ayat-ul-kursi or one of the 4 Qul
Surahs, or recite Allah-hu-Akbar or Alhamdulillah or Ashadu-an-
la-ilaha-illallah-wa-ashadu-anna-muhammadan-abduhu-wa-rasooluhu.
I always remember Allah.</p> <p>I want to know whether using
marijuana is allowed in Islam, or whether it is makroo, or
haraam.</p> <p>I know that most of you out there will say that
anything that intoxicates you is outright haraam, but lets take
a moment to define "intoxication".</p> <p>In my opinion,
intoxication, when speaking from an Islamic standpoint, is a
mental state where a person cannot bear witness to the fact that
there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah SW
