Resolution No.(278)(12/2019), By The Board of Iftaa',Researches and Islamic Studies:

 "Ruling on Renting a Mosque`s Mortuary"

Date: (11/ Ramadan/1440 AH), corresponding to (16/5/2019 AD).

 

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

During its sixth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the letter No.(5/5/3/993) sent from His excellency Deputy Director of Awqaf Funds Development Department Dr. Abed Mahmoud Al-Smiraat, and reads as follows:

We would like to bring to Your Grace`s attention the fact that At-Tawbah Funeral Center has applied for renting Al-Ethar Mosque`s Mortuary in Hashmiah area, Zarka. Could you kindly clarify the ruling of Sharia on this?

After deliberating, the Board decided the following:

Endowment properties allocated for mosques should serve the purpose for which they were endowed in the first place without any financial investment returns from private companies. Therefore, the Board is of the view that it isn`t permissible to rent the above mortuary. Rather, it should remain as an endowment for the people to benefit from.  And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for the woman who is observing Iddah after her husband`s death to sit with her daughter`s suitor, although their marriage contract hasn`t been concluded yet?

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.
A suitor who hasn`t concluded the marriage contract isn`t a Mahram*, so he must be treated as such. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
* The period a woman must observe after the death of her husband or after a divorce, during which she may not marry another man.
* In Islam, a mahram is a member of one's family with whom marriage would be considered haram, concealment purdah, or concealment of the body with hijab, is not obligatory; and with whom, if he is an adult male, she may be escorted during a journey, although an escort may not be obligatory.

Is abortion permissible when the family isn`t ready to receive a new baby?

Abortion is forbidden unless it constituted a serious threat against the mother`s life based on the opinion of trustful and God fearing physicians.

In the last verse of Surah At-Tin, Allah Says (What means): "Is Allah not the most just of judges?" [At-Tin/8]. Is it permissible for us, while performing congregational prayer, to respond after the Imam recites it by saying: "Indeed, and I am among those who bear witness to that." ?

It is recommended for the worshipper to say 'Indeed' (Bala) silently after reciting or hearing the verse (/What means): "Is Allah not the most just of judges?" [At-Tin/8]. This is part of reflecting on the Quran during its recitation or listening, as Allah Says (What means): "Then do they not reflect upon the Quran, or are there locks upon [their] hearts?" (Muhammad: 24). Doing so helps in achieving humility and focus in prayer. And Allah Knows Best

Is it permissible to offer one Rak`ah in Witr prayer?

The minimum of Witr (An odd number prayer performed between Isha`a and Fajr) prayer is one Rak`ah, and the maximum is eleven, but the minimum of its complete form is three, and it is permissible to offer one only.
