The fatwa also drives controversies among Indonesian Muslim scholars especially from Nahdhatul Ulama (NU) scholars, the largest Muslim organisation in Indonesia. The division of opinion among Muslim scholars are understood because the reasoning of the unlawfulness of smoking is not clearly mentioned in the Quran and/or Hadith.
Now, there is a surprising and shocking finding which if proven right will have a global affect. A new study reveals cigarettes may contain traces of pig’s blood. Here’s the report:
If it’s certain that all cigarettes contain traces of pig blood, Muhammadiyah and NU will certainly unite in declaring that smoking is haram as it’s clearly stated in the Quran about the unlawfulness of swine (pork, pig) (Al An’am 6:145) thus:

Sources Now, there is a surprising and shocking finding which if proven right will have a global affect. A new study reveals cigarettes may contain traces of pig’s blood. Here’s the report:
University of Sydney Professor Simon Chapman referred to a “recent Dutch research which identified 185 different industrial uses of a pig – including the use of its haemoglobin in cigarette filters,” The Australian said.So, if you’re a Muslim and a smoker, make sure that you smoke something without a pig blood in it.
Muslims and Jews both ban the consumption of pork and strict vegetarians and vegans refuse to use any animal products or bi-products.
“I think that there would be some particularly devout groups who would find the idea that there were pig products in cigarettes to be very offensive,” Chapman.
“The Jewish community certainly takes these matters extremely seriously and the Islamic community certainly do as well, as would many vegetarians.
According to the recent study, pig haemoglobin, a blood protein, is used in cigarettes to make filters more effective at trapping harmful chemicals before they could enter a smoker’s lungs.
Chapman said that there is no way of knowing for sure which brands use pig haemoglobin. When listing the content of their products, tobacco companies say that there are “processing aids … that are not significantly present in, and do not functionally affect, the finished product. “Pig haemoglobin falls in that category and therefore would not be clearly stated on the list.
If it’s certain that all cigarettes contain traces of pig blood, Muhammadiyah and NU will certainly unite in declaring that smoking is haram as it’s clearly stated in the Quran about the unlawfulness of swine (pork, pig) (Al An’am 6:145) thus:
Say (O Muhammad SAW): “I find not in that which has been inspired to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maytatah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering or the like), or the flesh of swine (pork, etc.) for that surely is impure[1]
