Appreciation Statement of UNESCO`s Resolution over Al-Aqsa Mosque

 

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

General Iftaa` Department highly appreciates the resolution issued by the Executive Board of UNESCO confirming Al-Aqsa Mosque and the whole Haram area (Noble sanctuary) as a sacred Islamic site dedicated for the worship of Muslims.

This honorable and historical resolution reflects the worldly conscience`s rejection of oppression, aggression and usurpation of people`s historical rights. It also represents a victory for the Palestinians how are steadfast in al-Aqsa Mosque and other parts of Palestine. We hope that this brave resolution motivates the international community to shoulder its responsibilities towards the Palestinian issue since it is a righteous and just cause not only to Palestinians but also to the entire Muslim nation.

As Jordanians, we are proud of the Hashemite custodianship of Al-Aqsa Mosque since it protects Islamic sanctuaries against judaization attempts and preserves them as historical and Islamic evidence to the rights of Muslims in this blessed land.

We pray that Almighty Allah favors Muslims with retrieving Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and praying there in peace, and all praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

General Iftaa` Department

Summarized Fatawaa

I placed my hand on the Quran and made an oath to avoid doing a specific matter, but the devil seduced me. What is the ruling on this?

You are obliged to pay an expiation; feeding 10 poor and the cost of feeing one is half JD. And Allah Knows Best.

After I was ran over, I had cracked ribs, concussion, a tension pneumothorax, and retired as a result. What is the amount of the Diya?

All praise is due to Allah the Lord of the worlds. May the blessings of Allah be upon our Master and Prophet Muḥammad and his pure progeny.
 
What you have mentioned requires a detailed medical report since the benefit of every organ that you have lost deserves a full Diya (In Islamic law, Diya is the financial compensation paid to the victim or heirs of a victim in the cases of accidental murder, bodily harm or property damage). Moreover, the decrease in the benefit of some organs has to be assessed by expert doctors and allocated a percentage from the Diya accordingly. Therefore, we advise you to refer the matter to the courts or reconcile with the driver and forgive him so that Allah may forgive you. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for me to eat from the animal that I slaughtered for Allah to protect my family?

It is permissible to eat from the non-vowed animal sacrifice, and the person is rewarded based on the amount of meat that he had given to the poor. However, there is no evidence in Islamic Sharia indicating that slaughtering an animal protects one`s family, but it is a way for thanking Allah, The Almighty, for his grace.

Is it permissible to abort a less than one-month-old fetus?

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.
Abortion is forbidden; therefore, it isn`t allowed except if endangers the life of the mother and such thing should be confirmed by god- fearing, specialized, trustworthy medical doctors. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
