Date Added : 02-11-2015

 

Resolution No.(91) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies: 

“Building a Floor over the Mosque as Classrooms for Teaching the Quran“

Date: 6/6/1426 AH, corresponding to 13/7/2005 AD.

 

 

What is the ruling of Sharia as regards building classrooms over a mosque`s main place of prayer (Mosala)?

Answer: All success is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

After reviewing the opinions of the Muslim scholars and their evidences in this regard, the Board decided that it is impermissible to build classrooms over the mosque for teaching the Noble Quran due to the following reasons: It is permissible to build floors over  the mosque for prayer only, what is beneath the mosque and above it take its rules, adding a floor for a purpose other than offering prayer makes the mosque lose its status as a mosque, and some people may take this as a pretext for adding floors over mosques, so mosques can`t be considered as such any more. It was stated in the book entitled [Rud Al-Mohtaar Ala Aldurr Al-Mokhtar/Hashyat Ibn Abdeen/Part (1), Page (371)]: “If a mosque has been built and someone wanted to build over it i.e. he wanted to build a place of residence for the Imam, then that is forbidden.“ And Allah Knows Best.

I`m a building contractor. I have been building a house for a client, but the construction process stopped for some reason. Unfortunately, currently, prices of materials have multiplied, is it allowed for me to demand an increase in the agreed price?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
It is more appropriate to approach the client and try to reach a mutually satisfactory solution. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling on the yellow discharge that comes from a woman during pregnancy?

These discharges are not menstrual blood, but they are impure like urine and break the Wudu (ablution). If the discharge is frequent, its ruling is similar to that of urinary incontinence. The woman should perform wudu after the time of each prayer, pray the obligatory prayer, and any additional prayers she wishes, read the Quran, and take precautions against impurity to the best of her ability. Using a special pad can prevent the impurity from spreading. And Allah Knows Best.
