Response by Mufti Yusuf Moosagie
Smoking, Manufacturing & Selling Cigarettes
What is the Islamic ruling with regards to smoking, manufacturing and selling cigarettes?
Answer
It is Makrooh (undesirable) to smoke due to the foul smell, wastage of money and potential harm that it may cause. Nevertheless, one who smokes should take special care to clean his mouth before going to the Masjid.
As for manufacturing and selling cigarettes - it is permissible but undesirable.

Bring Gifts When Returning From A Journey
Daily Fiqh
Question: Is it Sunnah to bring gifts when returning from a journey?
Answer: It is Mustahab (recommend) to bring back gifts for one’s family.
عَن عائِشَةَ، عَن النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «إِذا قَدِمَ أَحَدُكُم مِن سَفَرٍ فَليُهدِ لأَهلِهِ، فَليُطرِفهُم ولَو بِحِجارَةٍ - كنز العمال ج٦ ص ٧٠٢
Sayyida Aaisha Radiyallahu Anhu reports that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: “When you return from a journey, bring back some gifts for your family members, even if it means bringing some stones.” [Ibn Hibban]
The words ‘bring back stones’ could be implied literally. In that case, it would mean beautiful stones of a foreign land. Secondly, it could be an exaggeration, in which case it would stress the importance of bringing back something, no matter how insignificant it may be. [ Sublime Conduct Page 477]
