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.

The Iftaa` Department

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible to give my zakat to my grandson who is studying at university, while I am living abroad and my money is in my home country? Also, is it permissible to assign my father the responsibility of distributing the zakat to the people in my home country?

 

It is permissible to give zakat to a son whom his father is supporting if he is an adult and in good health, because his father is not obligated to support him, making him one of the poor among the Muslims. However, the student who may receive zakat is one who is diligent in seeking beneficial knowledge for the Muslims and is religious. Zakat should be paid in the country where the money is located, and appointing your father to distribute the zakat in the country where the money is is the correct approach. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on a man leading his sisters in obligatory prayer, or Taraweeh prayer (Night prayer in Ramadan)?

The prayer of the man who leads his wife, or sisters in prayer is valid, but it is more rewarding for him to offer obligatory prayer in the mosque. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling when a woman forsakes her husband in bed because he doesn`t pray regularly?

All perfect 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.
He must pray regularly so as not to be admitted into Hell; however, you must obey him in lawful matters even if he doesn`t pray on regular basis because he is considered a disobedient Muslim and not an infidel. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a woman to inherit the same share as of a man?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all if his family and companions.                                                                                                                                                                                                 Thorough studies in which woman's right to inherit according to law of distribution of estate indicates that there are more than one case by which women inherit the same as man and sometimes much more, or to shed the lights regarding the right to inherit while men who share the same family line with her don't have the right to inherit because the deceased has closer ties of kinship with her. In addition to four cases whereas woman inherits half share in comparison with man's share although they had the same degree of kinship with the deceased. For further details as regards the latter cases, kindly refer to elaborated jurisprudence books. And Allah Knows Best.
