The Statement of the Board of Iftaa' Over the Denouncement of the Caricature Insulting Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)

 

 

The Board of Iftaa' Researches and Islamic Studies reviewed in the first session held on Thurdsday (24/Rabi' Al-Awal/1436 AH) corresponding to (15/01/2015 AD) and issued the following statement: 

Allah`s prophets and messengers are the best of all creation, the dearest to Him and the most honorable. He sent them as a guidance and a mercy to mankind, so insulting one of them is tantamount to insulting all of them because we, Muslims, make no distinction between any of Allah`s messengers for He, The Most Exalted Says in the Holy Quran (What means): "The Messenger believes in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and the believers; each one believes in God and His angels, and in His Books, and His messengers, 'we make no distinction between any of His messengers'. And they say, 'we hear and obey; your forgiveness, our Lord; to you is the homecoming'." [Al-Baqarah/285]. Therefore; We don't tolerate any minor distortion against our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

 

Those who have insulted the Messenger (PBUH) have no idea who he really is; they have committed their act out of ignorance, or in pursuit of some worldly profit. Had they reviewed his biography and personal attributes, they would have realized that he is a role model and a charismatic leader, and so they would have stood up in respect and admiration for this great Prophet. Allah has praised him in His Eternal Book (Quran) where He Says (What means): "And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character." [Al-Qalam/4].

 

The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies confirms that the insulting caricature published by the French satirical newspaper is a clear proof of intentional instigation of hatred and trial the world over, and it should be countered  with decisive measures. Therefore, Muslims shoulder the responsibility of defending the Prophet (PBUH) through applying his Quranic etiquettes, bringing out his beautiful image before the whole world, refuting suspicious matters targeting him and his biography, and abstaining from violence, terrorism and killing as these only lead to distorting the beautiful image of Islam and Muslims.

 

On its part, the Board calls for defending Islam as well as its honorable Prophet via various means of mass media, social and cultural events, initiating dialogue with influential parties and spreading his Sunna (Prophetic tradition) throughout the different aspects of daily life in order for us (Muslims) to be the best followers of the best of prophets and messengers.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the Islamic ruling regarding a person finding buried treasure, whether gold or artifacts, and what is their share of it?

If the buried treasure is Islamic, it is considered Luqta (lost property), and the finder must announce it to locate its owner. If all efforts to find the owner fail, the finder may take ownership of it. If the treasure is non-Islamic and consists of gold or silver, zakat must be paid on it, which is one-fifth of its value. And Allah Knows Best.

Is there a solution to put an end to thinking of worries during prayer?

Firstly, make ablution after the time for prayer begins and busy yourself with remembering Allah, The Exalted, before the iqaamah (start of prayer).In order to become humbly submissive during prayer, you must perform prayer in congregation. After the prayer ends, stay in your place and read the post-prayer remembrances (Adhkaar) and make supplication to Allah, The Exalted.

I went to the health center today to take an intramuscular injection of Neurorubin B12. The nurse told me that this type of injection breaks the fast because it nourishes the body. Is this true? I have heard that intramuscular injections do not break the fast, but I was unsure about this type, so I decided not to take the injection.
 
 
 
 
 

Therapeutic injections administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly do not invalidate the fast because they do not enter the digestive tract through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do break the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in effect. The B12 injection is a therapeutic injection and does not break the fast. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

I prayed all the obligatory prayers in congregation, but after finishing the `Isha prayer, I remembered that I had forgotten to pray Dhuhr. What should I do, and is my prayer invalid?

Your prayers are valid, but you must make up the Dhuhr prayer as soon as you remember it, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "Whoever forgets a prayer must pray it as soon as they remember it; there is no expiation for it except this." [Muslim]. And Allah knows best
