Giving money to someone to buy cigarettes

Question
A woman was visiting her brother's house, and he embarrassed her and asked her for an amount to buy cigarettes in a roundabout way. Is she sinful?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: There is no sin upon her; because there is a distinction between giving him the money and the forbidden act of buying and drinking tobacco, which is an act of a free agent. The money she gave him can be used for lawful purposes or for unlawful ones, although it is preferable not to give it to him, even out of shyness. And God knows best.
