Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 09-02-2021

Resolution No. (297) (17/2020), By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Investing Land Endowed for Building a Mosque"

Date: (16th of Rabi'ul-Akhir, 1442 AH), corresponding to (2/12/2020 AD).

 

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

In its 13nth meeting held on the above date, the Board of Iftaa` reviewed the letter No.4/2/2/10794 sent from His Excellency the Minister of Awqaf, Holy Sites and Islamic Affairs Dr.Mohammad Al-Khalayleh. It stated as follows: "We would like to bring to your attention that Mr.Yaghi has donated the land No. (586/5) (Al-Ar-Rafiah, An-nawaijees Village, of the lands of eastern Amman) for building a mosque. This land is estimated at (530) square meters and is registered in the name of the Ministry of Awqaf, Holy Sites and Islamic Affairs under a contract of hibah (gift)/2009. This land has been vacant since 2009, however, several mosques were built near it and they suffice for prayer performers residing in that area. However, this land is considered in violation of the regulations stated in the Jordanian Law in this regard. In addition, not benefitting from it defies the purpose for which it was endowed in the first place. Based on the aforementioned, what is the ruling of Sharia on investing this land?

After careful consideration, the Board has arrived at the following resolution :

It is permissible to invest the above land and use the revenue in favor of the surrounding mosques, and in a manner that achieves the purpose for which it was endowed. This is of course after the donor, or his heirs in case he was dead, approve of that. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

When does the time of Isha' prayer end?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It ends at the emergence of true Fajr (Fajr Al-Sadiq ), and when the second Athaan of Fajr starts.And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling of Sharia on having an injection to stop the menses considering the fact that she is a challenged person?

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.
We recommend visiting a skilled doctor who fears Allah. If he says that there is no harm in having the injection, then it is permissible to use it. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Are phone conversations between the two sexes permissible if for consultation, and within the limits of good manners?

Such act is impermissible since it renders hearts corrupt, and could lead to forbidden attachment. Allah, The Almighty, Says (What means): "and follow not the footsteps of the devil." [Al-Baqarah/68].

 Should a person who doesn’t offer Tasbeehb (saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-‘Atheem during Rukoo`, and saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-A‘laa during Sujood) during Rukoo` and Sujood perform As-Sahw Sujood (prostration of forgetfulness)?

He/ she doesn`t have to perform Sujood As-Sahw, whether he/she didn`t offer Tasbeeh during Rukoo` and Sujood either intentionally ,or unintentionally, provided that the attentiveness of the heart wasn`t undermined since it is a pillar in both.
