The Final Act of the Fourth Iftaa' Forum Entitled "The Role of Islamic Culture in Forming Individuals and

Societies"

  

 

On the occasion of choosing Amman as The Capital of Islamic Culture/2017 by The Islamic Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO), the General Iftaa' Department held The Fourth Scientific Forum entitled "The Role of Islamic Culture in Forming Individuals and Societies" on 14/11/2017 in collaboration with Ministries of Education, Culture,  Awqaf and Islamic Affairs and the Supreme Judge Department. 

The generous sponsorship of the Forum by his Royal Highness Prince Ghazi Bin Muhammad was appreciated by the attendants and they remembered the Hashemite efforts as well as the anniversary of the late king Hussein(May Allah have mercy on his soul) in enhancing the values of Islamic culture, which is based on tolerance, through building the modern Jordan, which rests on principles and constants, in addition to showing the bright picture of Islam.

The participants have come up  with the following suggestions and recommendations:

First: The Islamic culture is the spirit of the nation of  divine revelation, connected to the Prophecy of Mohammad and extended through the whole world and for all people. Yet, it is not meant for a certain party, sect, country or geography. On the contrary, the Islamic culture has eliminated all differences while preserving the constants of Islam and the Arab world.

Second: The aforementioned culture highlighted the meaning of freedom, eliminated slavery, protected the poor and depressed reflecting the most advanced concept of culture.

Third: The Islamic culture in Jordan adopts the concept of moderation and the methodology highlighting the bright image of Islam and its tolerant values founded by the Hashemite Family since the constitution of Jordan. In addition, it is linked with the roots of the nation and the Hashemite descendants of the Prophet(Peace be upon him).

Fourth: The Islamic culture in Jordan is compatible with the Islamic religion and the teachings of the Prophets who passed by Jordan. Therefore, this culture has to be applied.

Fifth: The aforementioned culture should be based on innovation that motivates people to make reform and accomplishment, and this can be achieved through enhancing the Islamic cultural programs at all levels: educational, social, political and media.   

 

Sixth: Calling for continued cooperation amongst institutions entrusted with cultural activities and turning it into fieldwork. This can be done through implementing ideas that touch upon the core function of the afore organizations.

Seventh: Promoting Islamic culture is a joint responsibility that should be shouldered, on the individual level, by every Muslim. On organization level, it should be shouldered by universities, schools, Masjids, libraries, research centers, cultural societies, elite groups and social activities.

Eighth: Increasing cultural awareness, tying it with Islamic values of tolerance, and advancing this culture through institutional partnerships and available means, constitute the safety valve for society, protecting it against extreme views and maintaining its peace and stability.

Nine: Promoting the value of the "Role Model" in the Muslim society, tying it with its deeply-rooted heritage and values, preparing future generations to have a sense of responsibility towards the challenges facing their nation to adapt with the emerging cultural issues on basis of openness and renewability. 

Tenth: Governmental and non-governmental organizations along with all members of society should participate in the advancement of the Muslim nation, and enhancing the true values of Islamic culture in fulfilling the divine command where Allah has enjoined Muslims to deliver the message of Islam by lawful means and in the most correct and  respectable manners. 

Eleventh: Calling upon national institutions to reflect the Islamic-cultural identity of the city of Amman, in particular, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, in general, addressing future generations through promoting the themes of the Amman Message, the message of tolerace, adopting its values and applying them in everyday life. This is in addition to applying the values embodied in the initiative "Kalima Sawa`" so that we reach safety by creating a society that is conscious, tolerant and accepts the other. And all perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is Zakah due on a woman`s deposited gold?

Zakah (obligatory charity) is due on deposited gold if it reached Nissab (minimum amount liable for Zakah), and a lunar year had lapsed over owning it. The due Zakah is (2.5%). And Allah Knows Best.

I am a disabled woman who has vaginal discharges and can`t control her urine. Therefore, I combine prayers. Is that permissible?

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 his family and companions.

According to the Hanbali doctrine, it is permissible for the sick to combine prayers. In your case (Asker), it is better that you delay the noon prayer until a few minutes before the afternoon prayer in order to minimize the time span between the two and perform each alone. In addition, you can do the same with sunset and evening prayers. Finally, we ask Allah to bless you with recovery. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on the yellow discharge that comes from a woman during pregnancy?

These discharges are not menstrual blood, but they are impure like urine and break the Wudu (ablution). If the discharge is frequent, its ruling is similar to that of urinary incontinence. The woman should perform wudu after the time of each prayer, pray the obligatory prayer, and any additional prayers she wishes, read the Quran, and take precautions against impurity to the best of her ability. Using a special pad can prevent the impurity from spreading. And Allah Knows Best.

Is the patient who is on dialysis twice a week obliged to observe fasting? Is his fasting on the days he is on dialysis considered valid or not?

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

Dialysis invalidates fasting because of the nutritional fluid used in that procedure, as pointed by specialized doctors, in addition to causing bodies to enter the stomach. Therefore, it is recommended that the patient who had undergone dialysis to observe fasting for the rest of that day, if he is able to, and make up for it after Ramadan. However, if the doctor told him that fasting, at any time, would damage his health, then he must break his fast and pay a ransom against every missed day. We pray that Allah blesses this person with recovery. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
