Resolution No.(290): "Jordan`s Position Paper on Abortion"

Date Added : 15-07-2020

Resolution No. (290) (10 /2020) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Jordan`s Position Paper on Abortion"

Date: (29th of Shawwal, 1441 AH), corresponding to (21/6/2020).

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

In its 9nth meeting held on the above date, the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies reviewed the letter of the Prime Minister Dr. Omar Razzaz in which he requested studying the attached documents about "Jordan`s Position Paper on Abortion"  and delivering the ruling of Sharia on that.

After thorough consideration, the Iftaa` Board decided the following:

The content of the paragraphs attached under the heading "Jordan`s Position Paper on Abortion" complies with the Ijtihad related to the ruling of Sharia on abortion and in which the objectives of Sharia were taken into consideration.

We (Iftaa` Board) recommend making some changes that are deemed essential for the completion of the Sharia opinion in the above paper. They are as follows:

First: "Raising awareness of the unlawful and the unsafe sexual relations within all groups of society, (P.6)." We recommend changing "Raising awareness" into "Warning against" while changing "Unlawful" and "Unsafe, wherever they occur, into "Relationships outside of valid marriage."

Second: About the heading "Including Sexual Education, (P.5)" We recommend adding "In a manner consistent with our social values and the principles of Islamic Law."

Third: We recommend adding the General Iftaa` Department to the implementers in the paragraphs entitled "Including Sexual Education" and "Raising religious awareness."

Fourth: "Opening reproductive health clinics for the young, male and female, (P.5)." We recommend linking this with "In a manner consistent with our social values and the principles of Islamic Law."

Fifth: We also recommend linking the same phrase with "By nomination from the competent authorities," in margin No.(12), the system of forming an ethics board. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the torment of the grave?

We seek refuge in Allah from the torment of the grave. The important point is that the cause of the torment of the grave is disbelief or committing sins without repentance. It affects the soul, and the body is impacted by it, even if we do not see it. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

What are the benefits of slaughtering an Aqeeqah?

All Perfect Praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Extending thanks to Allah for His grace, expressing happiness for having a newborn, declaring lineage, and feeding the mother to compensate for the blood that she had lost during delivery.

What is the ruling of Sharia on tubal ligation?

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
Undergoing tubal ligation* to protect the mother`s health is permissible provided that this procedure is performed based on professional opinion of trustworthy medical doctors. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 

*Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure for female sterilization in which the fallopian tubes are permanently blocked, clipped or removed. This prevents the fertilization of eggs by sperm and thus the implantation of a fertilized egg. Tubal ligation is considered a permanent method of sterilization and birth control.

 

 

A sixteen-year-old young woman suffers from Alopecia, and lost her hair and eyebrows as a result. Is it allowed to draw her eyebrows using henna and an eyeliner? 

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
It is permissible for women to use henna and what the asker has mentioned isn`t considered hair extension. However, if this young woman is proposed to, she must disclose this matter to the person proposing to her to avoid deception. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
