Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

Ruling concerning farming tobacco and its profits

Question: What is the Islaamic ruling regarding farming tobacco and the money earned by the farmers from selling it?

Response: It is not permissible to farm tobacco, or to sell it and nor to smoke it because it is haraam in many ways: due to its harmful effects on (one's) health, due to its evilness and lack of benefit. (So) it is upon the Muslim to leave it (completely) and distance himself from it, not to farm it or trade in it because if Allaah has made something haraam then it's trade is also haraam.

And Allaah knows best.

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
