Dought&clear, - Ruling on smoking various types of hasheesh (marijuana)

Is it harm to smoke weed (Marijuana) occasionally especially when stressed out?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Hasheesh of all types is haraam, whether it is marijuana or any other type.
Al-'Allaamah Ibn Hajar al-Haythami said inal-Fataawa
al-Fiqhiyyah(4/233), speaking of hasheeh:
The evidence for its being forbidden is the report narrated by Ahmad
in hisMusnadand by Abu Dawood in hisSunanwith a saheeh isnaad from Umm
Salamah (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade all kinds
of intoxicants and relaxants. The scholars said that relaxants are
things that cause drowsiness and languor in the limbs. This hadeeth
indicates that hasheesh in particular is haraam, because it
intoxicates and relaxes, which is why those who consume it sleep a
great deal. Al-Qaraafi and Ibn Taymiyah narrated that there is
scholarly consensus that it is haraam and said: The one who regards it
as permissible is a kaafir. He said: The only reason why the four
imams (may Allaah have mercy on them) did not speak of it is that it
was not known at their time, rather it only appeared at the end of the
sixth century AH and the beginning of the seventh century when the
Tatar state emerged. End quote.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said
inal-Fataawa al-Kubra(3/425): Consuming this hasheesh in solid form is
haraam, and it is one of the most evil of haraam plants, whether a
little of it is consumed or a lot. End quote.
Consuming intoxicants is haraam regardless of the way in which they
are consumed.
Al-'Allaamah Ibn Qaasim al-Shaafa'i said: What is meant by the drinker
is the consumer, whether it is drunk or consumed otherwise, whether
there is consensus on its being forbidden or there is a difference of
opinion concerning that, and whether it is solid or liquid, cooked or
raw. End quote.
Sharee'ah only forbids the consumption of drugs and intoxicants
because of the great harm that they cause to the mind, soul, family
and society. We have discussed some of these harmful effects in the
answer to question no. 66227.
As for stress and anxiety, you may rest assured that the remedy for
them is not to be found in smoking hasheesh or any other haraam thing.
Allaah has not put the remedy of this ummah in that which He has
forbidden to it. In Saheeh Muslim (3670) it says that asked the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about alcohol and
he forbade him or told him not to make it. He said: "But I make it as
a remedy." He said: "It is not a remedy, it is a disease."
If you want to rid yourself of anxiety, then we advise you to do
several things, including the following:
1- Pray a great deal for forgiveness with proper presence of mind.
2- Do wudoo' and pray, for these are the greatest means of helping
oneself to be patient in dealing with hardship and dispelling worry.
3- Remember Allaah a great deal (dhikr), because this is a sure way
to attain peace of mind and tranquillity.
4- Send a great deal of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him). InSunan al-Tirmidhi(2381) it is
narrated that Ubayy (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I said: O
Messenger of Allaah, I send a great deal of blessings upon you. How
much of my du'aa' should I make for you? He said: "Whatever you wish."
I said: One-quarter? He said: "Whatever you wish, but if you do more
it will be better for you." I said: One half? He said: "Whatever you
wish, but if you do more it will be better for you." I said:
Two-thirds? He said: "Whatever you wish, but if you do more it will be
better for you." I said: I will make all my du'aa' for you. He said:
"Then your worries will be taken care of and your sins will be
forgiven." Classed as hasan by al-Albaani inSaheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi.
This is in addition to avoiding the causes of stress and anxiety as
much as possible. If the source of this anxiety and stress is worry
about the future, such as how you will learn a living and so on, then
you must think in positive terms of Allaah and sincerely put your
trust in Him. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And whosoever puts his trust in Allaah, then He will suffice him.
Verily, Allaah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allaah has set a
measure for all things"
[al-Talaaq 65:3]
May Allaah help us and you to do all good.
