Reason For Prohibition Of Weed In Islam?
In principle, to determine whether a thing is Halal or Haram, its medical benefits are not taken into account. If it is a real intoxicant, which means, it disturbs the senses as wine does, it is forbidden, and so is its consumption in a small quantity, as a preemptive measure, even if it does not create the same effect. However, if it is not an intoxicant, in the sense that it does disturb the sense as wine does, and it is like sleeping pills, then it cannot be called Haram. It means that its effects have to be decided by the medical experts and by the conscience of the person.
Ok, I understand loosing the senses part and I have asked many people who smoke weed and they say we don’t lose our senses and from alcohol you start behaving differently and you’re not aware of what’s happening around you etc but weed doesn’t have the same effect. You’re aware of whatever is happening around and you’re normal. Yes, when you’ve done alot, you do start laughing etc but you don’t lose your senses.
Also, is it true that you cant pray for 40 days after doing intoxicants (alcohol, weed etc)?
