A Statement on the Obligation of Supporting Palestinians Defending Al-Aqsa Mosque and Sheikh Jarrah Neighborhood

 

 

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad, his family and companions.

 

In light of the barbarous campaign launched by the Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinians stationed in East Jerusalem`s Sheikh Jarrah, the subsequent violations at Al-Aqsa mosque and the attacks against Palestinian worshippers stationed there.

 

The General Iftaa` Department, in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, reaffirms its condemnation of these unethical practices, which contradict the values of tolerance, peaceful coexistence and human rights. It reaffirms that the Palestinian residents of Jerusalem has the right to defend the Islamic holy sites and foil Israeli attempts to ban worshippers from praying at Al-Aqsa. This is in addition to harassing Jerusalemites, driving them out of their homes and placing restrictions on entering Al-Aqsa mosque, which is an integral part of a Muslim`s faith as it is the first direction of prayer,  the second mosque ever established for mankind on earth and the third holiest mosque.

 

We pray that Allah helps the Palestinians and supports their steadfastness against this heinous enemy. We also stress that defending Palestine and Al-Aqsa mosque is the religious duty of every Muslim person, leaders, governments and thinkers. However, this begins by holding on to the religious constants and Islamic creed, in addition to reminding people about the significance of Al-Aqsa mosque and the sufferings of the Jerusalemites at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces. Allah The Almighty Says (What means): "God has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion - the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: ’They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me. ’If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked." [An-Nur, 55]. We highly appreciate their steadfastness in defending the Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem. We also stress the role and importance of the Hashemite custodianship over Al-Aqsa mosque in terms of safeguarding Islamic and Christian holy sites. This custodianship is the first line of defense against usurpation or aggression in terms of time and place. We are thankful to His Majesty King Abdullah the 2nd for his relentless efforts in support of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa mosque. We will always follow his wise leadership, which didn`t flinch from sacrificing everything for the sakes of Al-Aqsa mosque and the just causes of the Arab nation.

 

We pray that Allah pardons our mistakes, achieves our aspirations, grants us victory over our enemies and blesses us with liberating our Islamic sanctities, and that for God is surely no great matter.

Summarized Fatawaa

My mother inherited a share from my late father`s and brother`s property; however, the inheritance, a piece of land, wasn`t divided amongst the eligible heirs because it was hard to sell. While alive, she used say that she wanted these shares to be distributed amongst the poor and needy. What is the ruling of Sharia on this?

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 of his family and companions.
This is a will, so we have to consider the estate she had left behind. If the piece of land, which she had willed, equals one third and less of her estate, then the will must be executed. But, if it is more than one third, then one third must be executed and the rest of the estate, if the heirs agreed, is to be executed  as part of her will as well. However, if the heirs haven`t approved of that, then what remains, excluding that one third, must be divided amongst them according to the Islamic rules of inheritance. Moreover, we recommend that you pay a visit to the Iftaa` Department to make things clearer for you. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a menopausal woman who has blood discharges to fast?

If she reached the age of menopause, and her menses stopped, but later she saw blood discharges that lasted a complete day and night (24) hours, then it is menstrual blood. Still, if these blood discharges lasted less than a complete day and night (24) hours, then it is not menstrual blood, but it is bleeding outside the monthly period (Istihadah), and it does not prevent her from prayer and fast, but she has to make ablution for every prayer.

What is the ruling on staring at the Holy Ka'abah?

All perfecy praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.

Staring/looking at the Holy Ka'abah is an act of worship even if this took place while performing a prayer, since Al-Baihaqee stated that the Prophet (PBUH) said: " Staring at the Holy Ka'abah is an act of devotion." [Sho'aab Al-Imaan]. And Allah Knows Best.

 

Is prayer nullified by nose bleed?

 All praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                                           Blood coming out of the nose, or a wound doesn`t nullify prayer regardless of its quantity. And Allah Knows Best.
