Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 23-11-2015

 

Resolution  No.(194) (2/2014) by The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

 "The Prohibition of Removing the Uterus of Challenged Girls and Society’s Responsibility Towards them"

Date: (7/Rabi`a Al-Awwal/1435 A.H), corresponding to (9/1/2014 A.D)

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

On its eleventh session held on the above given date, the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies reviewed the ruling of Sharia on removing the uterus of mentally challenged girls under the pretext that it causes health risks and affects their personal hygiene. Having taken the technical opinion of educational specialists and doctors into consideration and having become familiar with the negative effects of the aforementioned procedure, the Board decided what follows:

Ablating an organ that has been created by Allah is impermissible, save in hopeless cases. As for those who are physically, or mentally challenged, we see no valid excuse for allowing  such kind of procedure since it violates Allah`s creation, causes health risks due to cutting and surgery, and leads to negative effects that facilitate offending these girls and inflicting harm on them.

It is the duty of their parents and guardians to protect them against any harm. Society should also protect them against different types of abuse through taking all the necessary measures which guarantee that, because it is the right of the weak to be protected, and failure to perform that role makes the aforesaid parties sinful and that sin multiplies every time he/she (The challenged) is being abused. Therefore, families that are afflicted with challenged children as well as society should  exercise patience when dealing with them and seek the recompense from Allah. Our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said in this regard: “All of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and the things under your care.”  {Bukhari and Muslim}. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Does offering Udhiyah (Offering a Sacrificial animal at Aid Al-Adha) avails from offering Aqiqa?

Offering an Udhiyah doesn't avail a person from offering Aqiqa because each of which is a different act of worship. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on the unification of Adhan?

 All perfect praise be to AllahThe Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The unified Adhan is an act of Sunnah performed on behalf of a city's population. In addition, any Masjid that doesn’t have a Mua'than (The person who calls for prayers) and doesn`t raise the Adhan misses the reward of this great act. This is because Adhan should be raised for every group of people. However, the unified Adhan should be called in one Masjid and heard through all other Masjids. And Allah Knows Best.

When the soul leaves the body, does it hear and see? And where does the soul go?

The important thing is that the soul departs while its owner is a believing, repentant Muslim, as this is a good ending. As for the details, they are lengthy. The grave is either a garden from the gardens of Paradise or a pit from the pits of Hellfire. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is meant by "Recalcitrance of the woman toward her husband doesn`t render her divorced"?

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.
It means that her being recalcitrant (Nashiz) doesn`t make her divorced. Rather, she has to be divorced by husband or Sharia judge to be considered divorced. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
