[Umm al_khair]

[Haddad]

Qat contains ephedrinelike compounds.

 

Definitions:

 

Ephedrine: An odorless crystalline or powdered alkaloid isolated from shrubs of the genus Ephedra or made synthetically and used in the treatment of allergies and asthma.

 

Alkaloid: Any of various organic compounds normally with basic chemical properties and usually containing at least one nitrogen atom in a heterocyclic ring, occurring chiefly in many vascular plants and some fungi. Many alkaloids, such as nicotine, quinine, cocaine, and morphine, are known for their poisonous or medicinal attributes.

 

Conclusion: Qat is a drug. The use of drugs that alter the mind and cause addiction is haram in Islam.
