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 supplicating in Qunoot, at times of affliction, during obligatory and voluntary prayer a Sunnah, and should it be done before Rukoo` (bowing), or after it?

At times of affliction, it is a Sunnah that Muslims supplicate in Qunoot after the final Rukoo` of each obligatory, or voluntary prayer as individuals, or in congregation.

What are the signs of Laylat al-Qadr?

It is said that among its signs are:
● A sense of peace and tranquility during the night.
● The sun rises on the following morning white and without strong rays.
However, one should not be preoccupied with searching for its signs at the expense of worship. Allah has hidden its exact date so that we strive in worship throughout multiple nights, ensuring that we attain its great reward.

A pregnant woman has iron deficiency. When she showers, she becomes very tired and feels cold. What is the ruling on tayammum in this situation?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
One should not resort to tayammum (dry ablution) as a substitute for the obligatory ghusl (ritual bathing) so long as it remains possible to use water — for example, by heating the water, warming the place where the bathing takes place, or taking other similar precautions. However, if such measures prove ineffective, or are simply not possible to carry out, and performing ghusl [with cold water] would result in severe harm, then tayammum becomes permissible in that case, due to genuine inability to use water on account of the harm that would result, as described in the question. That said, she must make up (qaḍā') the prayers she performed using this tayammum.
It is stated in Bushrā al-Karīm: "One should not perform tayammum on account of cold unless warming the limbs fails to remove the aforementioned harm, and no means are available to heat the water — such as a vessel, firewood, or fire — and one fears [that using cold water would result in] any of the harms mentioned earlier in the discussion on illness: danger to life, loss of function in a limb, the onset or worsening of an illness, delayed recovery, or the [visible bodily] blemish mentioned in that discussion on illness. In such a case, tayammum becomes permissible due to the harm involved, but the prayer must still be made up afterward (qaḍā'). If, however, warming the body proves effective, or the means to heat the water are available, or none of the aforementioned harms are feared — then tayammum is not permissible, even if using the water causes some degree of discomfort or pain, since mere discomfort alone does not permit resorting to tayammum." And Allah, the Exalted, 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.
