In its session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the question sent by a number of UJ`s staff, whereby they asked for clarifying the ruling of Sharia concerning UJ Staff`s Fund?
Answer:
Having reviewed the Fund`s contract and the system adopted by UJ Staff`s Housing Fund/ No.(51), 2003; the Board believes that they include some violations to the provisions of Sharia; therefore, it recommends that the staff refrains from participating until these violations are rectified.
