Question

Is smoking the hooka pipe a sunnah of Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)?

Answer

Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) never took anything in his Mubaarak mouth which had a foul smell. Similarly in the Mubaarak era of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) these things were not practised.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
