Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 18-03-2019

Resolution No. (272)(5/2019), By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Tonaib Village Graveyard"

Date: (30/Jumada Al-Akhirah/1440 AH), corresponding to (7/3/2019).

 

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

During its third session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the letter of His Excellency the Minister of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Sites (No.4/6/273041, dated 25/11/2018), in which it was referred to the resolution of the Awqaf Council (No.4/11/2018, dated 12/8/2018). The latter pertained to giving back a portion of the registered shares of plot No.(5)/(3), Tonaib village, which is registered in the name of the public trustee of the Waqf the Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Sites. Could Your Grace discuss this matter with the concerned parties to deliver the ruling of Sharia regarding it? Knowing that this whole plot of land was registered as a graveyard by virtue of Awqaf Law No.(32)/2001. Kindly see enclosed copy of the above resolution.

After deliberating, the Board arrived at the following decision:

The rules of Shraia require that the Ministry of Awqaf draw a distinction between two cases:

First: If the Waqif (Endower) has registered his land by virtue of an official document, then the Ministry shall take charge of the whole plot in line with the conditions of the Waqif.

Second: If the land wasn`t registered as an endowment, and still people were buried in it, in this case, it isn`t permissible to register it in the name of the public trustee (Ministry of Awqaf). However, the Ministry can register-according to its regulations-the part in which people were buried; to the exclusion of the rest of that land, since, in principle, the base rule is to keep all what had appeared on what they had appeared. The area in which no burial took place isn`t endowed. Therefore, it doesn`t remain under the supervision of the Ministry of Awqaf, and thus it must be given back to its original owner. And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling when the duration of the monthly period varies, and sporadically increases?

If the period didn`t exceed (15) days from the first seeing of blood discharges until its end including the times of temporary cessation, then it is menses. But, if the period exceeded (15) days, then the woman experiencing this is Mostahadah (bleeding outside the time of monthly period), and should abide by her regular period, and consult one of the scholars.

Am I Permitted to Use Ill-gotten Money given to me from Sorcerer's Sons during during my Mother's condolence?

You are permitted to use this money if you were ascertain that the majority of his lawful money surpasses the unlawful one. And Allah Knows Best.

I`m getting old and haven`t got married yet. I love wearing the veil, but people advised me to take it off because it could stand in the way of my marriage, and that I should wear it after getting married, what should I do?

The veil (face drape) is the wear of the Prophet`s (PBUH) wives and righteous female companions (May Allah be pleased with them) and whoever imitates a certain group of people shall receive the same reward or punishment like themselves. Only those who are religiously poor deny women wearing the veil, and thinking that it stops a woman from getting married is from the evil suggestions of the devil.

What is the ruling on performing Umrah after the latest expansion of the Mas`aa (the passage between As-Safa and Al-Marwah), is it permissible, or not?

Yes, it is permissible to perform Umrah after the latest expansion of the Sa`y area since making Sa`y between As-Safa and Al- Marwah is already observed. And Allah Knows Best.
