Can a Muslim go for hypnosis to try and stop smoking? If yes, can a Muslim go to a non Muslim Hypnotist as I am not aware of any Muslim hypnotists?

Question

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

Smoking is prohibited. One should try his level best to quit this evil habit. It is permissible to use hypnosis to aid one to quit smoking. One may go to a non-Muslim hypnotist on the condition one is not made to do anything which is contrary to Shariah.

And Allah knows best
