Based on the provided information, vaping is considered impermissible due to its harmful nature, regardless of whether you are fasting.
According to the Islamic studies Al-Magrib Institute, their general take on e-cigarettes is:
“It is impermissible to use e-cigarettes because of their harmful nature, and in addition they also break the fast due to the ingestion of nicotine as well as the manner of its ingestion, identical to the rulings applied to normal cigarettes.”
While the reference mentions that vaping breaks the fast during fasting hours, the primary reason for its impermissibility cited is its "harmful nature". This ruling based on harm applies generally, not just during the fasting period.
Therefore, even after breaking your fast at iftar, the use of e-cigarettes is considered impermissible based on this perspective due to the inherent harm associated with them.
Key Considerations:
- The ruling is based on the perceived harmful nature of e-cigarettes.
- The prohibition is not limited to the fasting period but is a general stance.
