Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 04-01-2021

Resolution No.(296) (16/2020) By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Using the Building of an Old Mosque by Zakah Committee"

Date: (16th of Rabi'ul-Akhir, 1442 AH), corresponding to (2/12/2020 AD).

 

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 13nth meeting held on the above date, the Board of Iftaa` reviewed the letter No.4/2/3/1122 sent from His Excellency the Minister of Awqaf, Holy Sites and Islamic Affairs Dr. Mohammad Al-Khalayleh. It read as follows: What is the ruling of Sharia regarding the request made by Um Jozeh and 'Allan Zakah Committee to use the building of Um Jozeh Old Mosque, where prayers haven`t been offered for a very long time because the New Um Jozeh Mosque was established next to it? This Committee expressed its readiness to make total maintenance for the building and its annexes to serve as new headquarter for Um Jozeh and `Allan Zakah Committee of the Zakah Fund. What is the ruling of Sharia on the permissibility of using Um Jozeh and `Allan old Mosque for the afore-mentioned purposes?

  

After careful consideration, the Board has arrived at the following decision:

 

In principle, religious endowments are bound by the conditions of the endowers and should meet the purpose for which they have been established in the first place. However, at the same time, it is permissible for Um Jozeh and `Allan Committee to use the building of Um Jozeh and `Allan Old Mosque after running the necessary maintenance; provided that it is used as a mosque and kept officially registered as such. This is in order to enable the Waqf Administrator-Ministry of Awqaf, Holy Sites and Islamic Affairs-to benefit from it as a mosque in the future. And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a guardian (Big brother) to unlawfully stop his sister from getting married?

If the guardian denies her right in getting married for an unlawful reason, she should go to court in order to settle that matter, and the guardian is considered sinful in this case.

I went to the health center today to take an intramuscular injection of Neurorubin B12. The nurse told me that this type of injection breaks the fast because it nourishes the body. Is this true? I have heard that intramuscular injections do not break the fast, but I was unsure about this type, so I decided not to take the injection.
 
 
 
 
 

Therapeutic injections administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly do not invalidate the fast because they do not enter the digestive tract through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do break the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in effect. The B12 injection is a therapeutic injection and does not break the fast. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

I am a woman, and my natural menstrual cycle lasts six days. In the evening, I perform the testimony (Tashahhud) for myself, and then I engage in sexual intercourse with my husband. After intercourse, I experience bleeding, either immediately or the next day. Is my intercourse with my husband during this time forbidden?
 

It seems that your menstrual cycle lasts seven days, not six. Therefore, you should wait until the bleeding stops, then perform ghusl and pray. And Allah Knows Best.

I prayed while I was in the hospital after a bladder surgery, and my urine was connected to me and could not be disconnected that day. I prayed after performing tayammum with my finger because I was unable to stand. What is the ruling?

After Allah grants you complete healing, make up the prayers you performed with your finger to the best of your ability, at times that suit you. And Allah Knows Best.
