Letter of December 27, 1933 |
|
Concerning the use of alcoholic drinks and drugs the Guardian
wishes you to know that they have been explicitly
197
forbidden in the “Kitab-i-Aqdas”. Opium is, undoubtedly,
prohibited. But smoking, though allowed, is discouraged. Various
other points which may be raised in this connection and
which have not been explained in the Holy Writings have to be
carefully considered and acted upon by the future International
House of Justice which is the body empowered by Baha’u’llah
to legislate in all matters which have not been explicitly revealed
in the Sacred Writings of the Faith.
