Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 02-11-2015

 

Resolution No.(181)(13/2012) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Islamic Banks Subscribing in the Jordan Deposit Insurance Corporation"

Date: 4/11/1433 AH, corresponding to 20/9/2012.

 

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

On the above given date, the Board reviewed the question sent by the Director-General of the Jordan Deposit Insurance Corporation (JODIC), which reads as follows: What is the ruling of Islamic Sharia on deposits insurance at  Islamic banks and reviewing the amendment of the Corporation`s draft-law pertaining to that?

After researching and deliberating, the Board arrived at the following view:

Deposits at Islamic banks enjoy special characteristics compared to those at non-Islamic banks, because of the difference in the types of accounts.

Therefore, the Board approves of the draft-law which stipulates binding Islamic banks with the insurance of their credit accounts. As regards investment accounts, the annual subscription paid to the Deposit Insurance Corporation should be collected from the holders of these accounts as a deduction against risk. This binds the Corporation to create two independent portfolios at the deposit insurance fund of the Islamic banks, one for the insurance of credit accounts deposits and the other for the investment accounts deposits.

It was made clear to the Board that the amended draft-law rests on values of solidarity and cooperation, and that the amounts paid on this basis are considered donations , and that it (draft-law) aims at protecting people`s funds against risk. In case of liquidation, the capitals of this fund are deposited at the Zakat Fund of the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs and Holy Places.

Accordingly, the Board is of the view that establishing this fund for the insurance of deposits at Islamic banks is permissible, and that the suggested amendments of the draft-law comply with the accredited standards of Islamic Sharia. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

If the Prophet (PBUH) was an Arab citizen in 2009, born in an Arab country ruled by an Arab ruler, saw what was happening to Gaza, what would he (PBUH) have done?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.
Had the Prophet (PBUH) been amongst us, Muslims would have supported him, and then he would do whatever pleases the heart of every Muslim. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling on uncovering the eyes while wearing a Khimar?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
According to Sharia, a woman`s clothing shouldn`t be attractive so as to prevent sedition. However, it is better for a woman to be on the safe side and avoid such clothes. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A man cursed Allah, is he allowed to perform prayer without making Ghusl?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
 
Cursing Allah is an act of apostasy and one who commits it must utter the testimonies of faith, make repentance, take back wife; however, it isn`t conditioned that he makes Ghusl (Full body ritual purification) to pray. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
