As Salaamu Aleikum
First of all, I would like to ask if Ramadan has already began? I mean, has moon been sighted for real all around world? Or is it tomorrow on Monday? I were not able to find information about sightings of a moon.... So will I began my Ramadan on monday?
My problem is smoking, I feel I can not be without sigarettes for a day, even a morning. I have smoked about 7-8 years pack a day (so about 4 years before I found Islam), and am REALLY addicted to it.
Does it count as a disease, especially as it (being without nicotine with all its symphonies it causes) could do serious damage for my school efforts (can not consentrate, etc.)
I have heard that diseases are valid reason to break rules of Ramadan in that particular subject connected to disease.
And I have also hear that during Ramadan fasting nothing should go to stomach, but ainīt smoke going to lungs?
And then about that other smoking habit, less addictive but more intoxicating your mind, that I have had almost as far as I have smoked cigarettes, and I smoke that too every day....
So you propably quessed, maryjane....
Reason I smoke maryjane every day is that I am recovering alcoholist, I still strugle to stay away from alcohol every day. Another, bigger reason (and reason for alcoholism) is one most wonderful woman in the world and a sad results of faaling into one-sided love, that has nearly killed me, and is still haunting, damaging, deppressing and putting me down..... But that would be story of its own, 10 years in beginning of next March. O how I still recall that week on that congregation-camp with Hale-Bob comet with its two tailes in the sky.....
So I suffer severe addictions, mental problems (called love), AND MEDICINE FOR THAT (and alcoholism even deepening my deppression) HAS BEEN SMOKING. Wouldnīt that be counted as a disease? Especially as it interferes more important things for sake of Islam if stopped...
So should I smoke during days of Ramadan, if it is beficial for Islam in other ways (and I mean REALLY beneficial)? After all, it is not going to stomach, but to lungs....
Wa Aleikum Salaam
