Resolution No.(234): "Deducting a Percentage from the Orphans` Allowance to Cover Healthcare Expenses"

Date Added : 20-03-2017

Resolution No.(234)(2/2017) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Deducting a Percentage from the Orphans` Allowance to Cover Healthcare Expenses"

Date: (7/Jumada Al-Akhira/1438), corresponding to (6/3/2017)

During the second session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the question sent from the Secretary-General of the Islamic Charity Center Society, Mr. Al-Mohaisin and it reads as follows: 
The Islamic Charity Center Society deducts (5%) from the monthly allowance of the orphans and the poor families under its guardianship to cover the health services delivered to them by one of its medical centers. Is this permissible? 
Answer: All perfect praise be 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.
After deliberating the above question, the Board decided the following:
If donors have been acquainted with the (ICCS) "Guardianship system" and approved of its terms and conditions; particularly the deduction of the afore percentage then it is permissible for the (ICCS) to do so since the approval of the donor is tantamount to the permission stipulated by Sharia as far as the actions of the authorized (ICCS) are concerned. Moreover, since the above percentage is spent in what is beneficial to the above people, this means that the donations serve the purpose for which they were given in the first place. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

 
What is the ruling on someone who eats or drinks thinking that the sun has set, then realizes that it has not yet set?

Whoever eats or drinks believing that the sun has set, then later discovers that it has not yet set, their fast is invalid, and they must make up that day after Ramadan. It is not permissible to break the fast before confirming sunset—either by seeing it, through personal reasoning, or by relying on the statement of someone trustworthy in their religious commitment.

Is it permissible for women to gather in one of their homes to pray Tarawih?

Yes, it is recommended (mustahabb) for women to pray Tarawih in congregation if they gather, even if it is not in the mosque.
In fact, praying at home is better for them, as it avoids the potential concerns associated with going to the mosque.

What is the ruling if someone wipes his head then shaves it - must he repeat it?

If a person performing ablution shaves his head after wiping it during ablution, he is not required to re-wipe his head or repeat the ablution. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling of Islamic Law on the colored discharges that appear one or two days before the menstrual cycle?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
Colored discharges carry the same Islamic ruling as blood, whether they appear at the beginning or the end of the menstrual period. This remains true even if the discharge is intermittent—appearing for some days and stopping for others before returning—provided that the total duration does not exceed fifteen days nor fall short of a day and a night (24 hours). This is because the minimum duration of menstruation (Hayd) is one day and a night, while its maximum duration is fifteen days. Furthermore, the minimum period of purity (Tuhr) between two menstrual cycles is fifteen days, and there is no maximum limit for it. And Allah the Exalted knows best."
