Can I smoke CBD in Ramadan?

Published in Islamic Practices 2 mins read

Whether you can smoke CBD during Ramadan depends on interpretations of Islamic law and your individual adherence to those interpretations. However, the smoking aspect introduces complexities separate from the CBD itself.

Here's a breakdown:

  • CBD Oil & Halal: Almost all Muslim scholars consider CBD oil itself to be halal (permissible) because it is a non-intoxicating product derived from a plant extract. This generally holds true even for full-spectrum CBD oil containing trace amounts of THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis) or broad-spectrum CBD oil that contains only trace amounts of THC. The crucial factor is the absence of intoxicating effects.

  • Smoking and Ramadan: Ramadan involves fasting from dawn until sunset. This abstention typically includes refraining from ingesting anything, including smoke.

  • Considerations:

    • Ingestion via Smoking: If smoking CBD involves inhaling smoke (regardless of the substance), it would likely break the fast, similar to smoking tobacco. The smoke is considered a substance entering the body.
    • Alternative Methods: Consider non-smoking methods of CBD consumption during non-fasting hours (after sunset and before dawn). These methods include:
      • CBD Oil (taken sublingually or added to food/drink)
      • CBD Capsules
      • CBD Edibles (gummies, etc.)
    • Consult with a Scholar: For definitive guidance, it's best to consult with a knowledgeable Islamic scholar who can provide advice based on your specific situation and the interpretations you follow.
  • Summary: While CBD oil itself is generally considered halal, smoking it during Ramadan would likely break the fast. Consider alternative methods of consumption during non-fasting hours.
