Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Resolution No. (199): "Banning the Circulation of Copies of the Holy Quran in which the Rules of Quranic Recitation are Included"

Date Added : 03-05-2021

 

Resolution No. (199), by The Board of Iftaa' Research and Islamic Studies:

"Banning the Circulation of Copies of the Holy Quran in which the Rules of Quranic Recitation are Included" 

Date (14/Sh'abaan/1435AH), corresponding to (12/06/2014AD).

 

 

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.

On the above given date, the Board reviewed the question sent by the Secretary General of the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affaires by proxy whereas it states: "I seek for the permission of your excellency to review my copy of the Holy Quran [Al-Mushaf Al-Moalim/Dar Al-Waseela] and [Al-Wadih Fee At-Tajweed 'Alaa Noskhat Al-Mushaf] in order to clarify the permissibility of circulating them based on the opinion of the respected Iftaa' Board."

 

After long deliberation, the Board stated what follows:

The Holy Quran is Allah's, The Exalted Speech, revealed on the seal of prophets Muhammad (PBUH), gathered in the Holy Quran Book, reported in a successive way and within its pages lie guidance and light for the whole world which entails the Islamic nation to preserve and keep it intact from changes.

After reviewing a copy of [Al-Wadih Fee At-Tajweed 'Alaa Noskhat Al-Mushaf] (Dar As-Salam) in which apparent colorful words added to the holy Quran and the rulings of Quranic recitation are manifested on each single word; thus, we are of the view that publishing and circulating it among people is impermissible because many different copies of the Holy Quran will exist and an addition on the recited verses will take place as a result.

 

As for the other book [Al-Mushaf Al-Moalim/Dar Al-Waseela] in which the rulings of Quranic recitation are manifested through symbols and colors in details, never been used by Quranic scholars neither earlier nor lately, long researches of Quranic recitation are included in the last pages of  it in addition of having some illustrations and drawings;therefore, we are of the view that this copy shouldn't be circulated. Further, the rulings of Quranic recitation should be separated in an independent book in order to avoid the mixture of Allah's Speech with the speech of people indistinctively. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on someone who eats or drinks thinking that the night is still present, then realizes that dawn has broken?

Whoever eats or drinks thinking that the night is still present, then later discovers that dawn has broken, must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day out of respect for the sacred month. However, they must make up that day after Ramadan, and there is no sin upon them.

What is the waiting period ('Iddah) for a woman whose husband has passed away, and what is the ruling on her wearing gold?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
The waiting period ('Iddah) for a woman whose husband has passed away is four months and ten days for one who is not pregnant. As for a pregnant woman, her waiting period lasts until she gives birth. It is obligatory for her to remain in the marital home, only leaving for a necessity. During this time, it is prohibited (Haram) to display any form of adornment on the body or clothing; this includes wearing kohl, gold, all types of perfume, and dyeing the hair. Likewise, it is prohibited to receive a direct marriage proposal or to marry during this period.
 
It was narrated by Umm 'Atiyyah that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'We were forbidden to mourn for a deceased person for more than three days, except for a husband, for whom the mourning period is four months and ten days. During this time, we were not to use kohl, nor wear perfume, nor wear dyed clothing except for garments made of 'Asb (coarsely dyed yarn). We were, however, granted a concession at the time of purification—when one of us bathed following her menses—to use a small amount of Kust (costus) or Azfar (fragrant substances). We were also forbidden from following funeral processions.' (Narrated by Al-Bukhari). And Allah the Exalted knows best."

Does tooth extraction during the day in Ramadan break the fast?

Simply extracting a tooth during the day in Ramadan does not break the fast. However, if water or blood enters the body cavity, the fast becomes invalid.
Whoever's fast is invalidated in this way must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day out of respect for the sacred month and make up for that day later.
It is preferable to postpone the extraction until nighttime or after Ramadan if possible.

 Should a person who doesn’t offer Tasbeehb (saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-‘Atheem during Rukoo`, and saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-A‘laa during Sujood) during Rukoo` and Sujood perform As-Sahw Sujood (prostration of forgetfulness)?

He/ she doesn`t have to perform Sujood As-Sahw, whether he/she didn`t offer Tasbeeh during Rukoo` and Sujood either intentionally ,or unintentionally, provided that the attentiveness of the heart wasn`t undermined since it is a pillar in both.
