    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 291/232/B=3/1443)

     

    The business of gutkha is lawful, but it is khilaf-e-aula (not preferable).

     

    قال فى الشامي: وصح بيع غير الخمر أي عنده خلافًا لهما في البيع والضمان، لكن الفتوى على قوله في البيع، ثم إن البيع وإن صح لكنه يكره كما في الغاية . (شامي)
