A Statement by the Iftaa` Department on the Terrorist Crimes in America and Libya

 

 

Praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad, the seal of Messengers, and upon all his family and companions.

The Iftaa` Department confirms that  the killing of innocent people nowadays on basis of  belief, sect, or ethnicity represents a serious violation of humanity and an act of aggression which is absolutely denied by our religion of mercy and human dignity. Allah Says (What means): "We sent thee not, but as a Mercy for all creatures." [Al-Anbia`/107]. He, The Almighty also Says (What means): "We have honored the sons of Adam." [Al-Isra`/70].

The Department condemns the heinous crime that led to the death of three young Muslims in the United States, and the despicable act committed by the criminal junta and led to the death of a number of Coptic Egyptians in Libya. A crime so barbaric that it has shaken the conscience of humanity. However, Islam has nothing to do with it and denounces it completely.

Therefore, the Department calls on scholars, thinkers and people of sound opinion to counter terrorism by reflecting the beautiful image of Islam  and protecting it since mixing Islam with terrorism only leads societies to a state of chaos and anarchy.

We pray that Allah bestows peace and security upon Jordan and the rest of the Islamic countries.

Summarized Fatawaa

I became ill while fasting and had to take an intramuscular injection twice on two consecutive days during Ramadan. I continued my fast as usual, as I was told that intramuscular injections do not break the fast. Please advise me so that I can know the correct ruling.
 
 
 
 
 

Subcutaneous and intramuscular therapeutic injections are not considered as invalidators of fasting because they do not enter the stomach through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do invalidate the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in purpose. Therefore, your fast is valid. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

How is night prayer offered?

Night prayer is offering voluntary prayer after Maghrib and before Fajr (Dawn). As for Tahajjud, it is offering voluntary prayer at night after waking up voluntarily, and for Allah`s sake as He Says (What means): "And pray in the small watches of the morning: (it would be) an additional prayer (or spiritual profit) for thee: soon will thy Lord raise thee to a Station of Praise and Glory!" [Al-Isra`/79]. Offering Tahajjud is better than offering voluntary prayer before going to bed.

Is it permissible for a husband to stop his wife from visiting her family?

A husband shouldn`t stop his wife from visiting her family, and it is disliked for him to do so because such an act makes them harbor feelings of hatred against him.

I have vowed that if Allah gave me what I wanted so bad, I would fast every Monday and Thursday to the rest of my life; unless there is a valid excuse hindering me from doing so. Fortunately, Allah gave me what I wanted, so I started fasting Mondays and Thursdays; however, I stopped out of laziness. What is the Sharia ruling on this?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
Allah The Almighty described the righteous people of Jannah where He Said (What means): "They perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide." [Al-Insan/7]. Accordingly, you must do your best to fulfill your vow. However, if you are unable to do so, then feed a poor person for every missed day of fast (About half a JD), and if you are unable to do that, then offer expiation for breaking a vow, which is feeding ten poor Muslims (About half a JD for each), ask Allah for forgiveness and increase remembrance of Him. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
