The Honest Military Model; His Grace Sheikh AbdulKareem Al-Khasawneh

 

 

 

I have no personal relationship with this venerable Sheikh for I have met him once. However, I wanted to write a brief article about him for a couple of reasons. First, highlighting the bright side of Jordan in terms of the public officials who are passionate about its common good. Second, acquainting the reader with this strong, professional character, which is calm in appearance but strong in action. Third, having listened to this charismatic religious leader on the morning radio show "Nawafith."

Although in his eighth decade, this white-bearded, open-faced Sheikh delivers the tasks entrusted to him properly and accurately; not merely sufficing with the reports of his aides.  He also oversees twenty-four Iftaa` offices, which receive hundreds of questions and issues hundreds of answers (Fatwas), located in various districts and governorates of the kingdom. On its own, the General Iftaa` Department follows up and monitors every issue, big or small, circulated via social media, news websites or transmitted by people in their meetings. Definitely, the ruling of Sharia on these is required and must be based on scientific knowledge, the know-how, careful consideration of people`s conditions and the projection of contemporary reality, with all its consequences, on the validity of the Muslim faith for every time and place. This way, it is made sure that the produced Fatwa is fortified against dubiousness and human whims.

In terms of staff, the Iftaa` Department is based on the work and diligence of forty Muftis who keep track of the various administrative as well as socio-economic matters; some of which could reach up to tens of hundreds of pages. They are also in charge of issuing delicate Fatwas that will have a deep, serious impact on life on the level of the individual, group, and community.

The Iftaa` Department receives multiple questions about different topics, such as sale contracts, commercial transactions, and social affairs where askers go in person seeking answers for the latter. This is in addition to issues the Dept. addresses on its own to ward off moral and social corruption.

Actually, it is worth pointing that the Iftaa` Dept. was classified as the first Iftaa` institution during the Corona pandemic, was a key reference in this regard and its fatwas were translated into five languages to serve Muslims all over the world. Moreover, the cooperation between the Department and its counterparts in some Muslim countries is clear evidence on the depth as well as the outstanding quality of its Fatwas.

 

Taking a closer look at the Department`s high level of professionalism and its tremendous efforts over the past years indicate that it is led by a wise, disciplined, military figure of world class. This is normal because graduates of the military school are of such refined and rare caliber where professionalism comes with discipline, precision, and follow up. Accordingly, Sheikh Abdul Kareem is a living example of this type.

Based on this, will such figures be called to hold sensitive positions that need, in addition to honesty, strength and military discipline?!

We pray that Allah protects His Majesty King Abdullah II, his family, and the people of Jordan.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a Muslim to slaughter an Aqeeqah on behalf of someone else, and offer it to him as a gift?

In principle, the guardian is the one who should offer the Aqeeqah (the sheep slaughtered on the seventh day from the child`s birth) because he is obliged to provide for the newborn, and it is impermissible for anyone else to slaughter it on his behalf unless with his consent. However, it is permissible for a person to offer the sheep, or its price as a gift to the guardian of the newborn, and then the latter can slaughter it, or deputies someone else to do that on his behalf.

My husband wanted to sell a piece of land that was his own, but his father insisted that he transfer the land in his (the father’s) name so that he could sell it at a higher price. Then, my husband and his father would split the price. After my father-in-law sold the land, he denied everything and refused to acknowledge my husband’s right. My father-in-law passed away a year ago, and my husband’s brothers divided the inheritance, refusing to acknowledge that this land was a trust held by their father for my husband until it was sold. Are they sinful for knowingly denying that the land belongs to my husband, and what is the ruling on praying against them?
 
 
 
 
 

All perfect praise be to Alalh, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.
Among the rights of the deceased upon their heirs are: preparing them for burial at death, settling their debts, returning people’s rights to them, executing their will, and then dividing their estate. What was mentioned in the question falls under the rights of others, even if they are among the heirs, and the deceased is not absolved of it unless it is returned to its rightful owners. This is because Allah, Almighty, forbids consuming others' wealth/properties unjustly. However, do not give up on seeking a solution by involving righteous and well - respected individuals who may have influence over them, in the hope that Allah guides them to goodness and correctness. As for supplicating against them, the prayer of the oppressed is not rejected, even if the oppressed person is not a Muslim. And Allah knows best.
 
 
 
 
 

A woman committed adultery with several men and gave birth to a baby. Who is the father?

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.
 
The adulterers must be punished as prescribed in Sharia for they have incurred the wrath of Almighty Allah. Therefore, they must hasten to make repentance and ask Allah for forgiveness. However, the child born out of this unlawful relation is attributed to the mother. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is a woman`s voice 'Awrah even when praising the Prophet (PBUH) via satellite channels?

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.
 
The Sharia term 'Awrah has two meanings:-
First: `Awrah that invalidates prayer when uncovered, and in this sense a woman`s voice isn`t considered `awrah. Second: `Awrah that causes men to be tempted by women and vice versa. Moreover, if a woman`s voice is soft or alluring, then it is forbidden for her to speak deliberately before strange men. This is because Almighty Allah Says (What means): "O ye wives of the Prophet! Ye are not like any other women. If ye keep your duty (to Allah), then be not soft of speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease aspire (to you), but utter customary speech." [Al-Ahzab/32]. However, a man should avoid listening whatever incites his desires. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
