Furthermore, the analysis discerns significant themes and recurring arguments that influence the varied viewpoints on smoking in Islamic thought as presented in the literature. In summary, this literature review highlights the intricacy of the matter through its provision of an all-encompassing examination of the varied viewpoints concerning the repercussions of smoking within the realm of Islamic jurisprudence.
