Question: “As-salamu `alaykum. Does one have to re-do his/her wudu if he/she has smoked or taken drugs?“
A Muslim is not supposed to smoke or use drugs. They are highly deleterious to our health; moreover, they are a sheer waste of resources that could be used for higher priorities.
So, I would urge you to break this habit and save your health and hard-earned money for better things.
Now, coming to the issue of washing or doing wudu after smoking, smoking has a foul smell that is offensive to others.
Islam teaches us to spare others from harm. This includes not causing them discomfort from the foul smell of our mouths, body odour, or clothes.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that “whoever eats (raw garlic) should not come to the mosque.” (Al-Bukhari) Smoking is not different.
In conclusion, smoking is haram; however, if anyone did smoke, then he ought to wash his mouth and get rid of the foul smell before coming to the mosque for prayers.
