Notes
This pamphlet is an istiftaʾ (a formal question for a fatwa) regarding the ruling on whether huqqah, chilam (a type of traditional pipe), or tobacco in the form of naswar are prohibited and whether those who use them are considered non-believers. The response given is that the person remains a Muslim, as there is a difference of opinion on the prohibition of chilam and naswar. The pamphlet also mentions fatwas from some scholars of that era who gave rulings on this matter. At the end of the pamphlet, the reproduction of seals (signatures) is noteworthy. In addition to the seal of the author of the pamphlet, Murid Muhiyy al-Din Nushahrawi Qadiri, the opinions and commendations from other scholars regarding the pamphlet are also significant historical records. The pamphlet was written in 1300 Hijri (1882-1883 CE). | On the topic of tobacco, refer to the books numbered 02690, 02917, 04977 available in this archive. For detailed biographical information about Muhammad Murid Muhiyy al-Din Nushahrawi, refer to Tadhkirah-i ʿUlamaʾ wa-Mashayikh-i Sarhad, Volume 2 (01946 in this archive). | Digitization for the Sufi Shrine Libraries of the Afghan-Pakistan Frontier collection was sponsored by the Modern Endangered Archives Program with funding from Arcadia. | unknown
