A statement on Recognizing Jerusalem as Capital of the Israeli Entity
Author : The General Iftaa` Department
Date Added : 07-12-2017

 

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.

The General Iftaa' Department strongly condemns the resolution taken by the US administration in which it recognized Jerusalem as capital of the Israeli occupation and  decided moving the US Embassy there. This act constitutes a flagrant violation against Muslims' creed.

On its part, the Dept. reminds the world of the UNISCO's World Heritage Center`s resolution which ascertains that Israel has no sovereignty over Jerusalem. Accordingly, the U.S resolution is invalid in all forms and defies the international law and all related resolutions. Moreover, issuing such resolution incites conflicts and crises in a region that is already suffering the scourge of war.

Almighty Allah has privileged Al-Aqsa Mosque with a special place in the hearts of all Muslims emanating from  the essence of their belief since it  (Al-Aqsa Mosque) is the first of the two Qiblahs (Al-Aqsa Mosque and Al-Masjid Al-Haraam of Makkah), the second of the two Holy Mosques (The sacred mosques of Makkah and Medina) ,the third of the Harams as well as the place from where the Messenger (PBUH) embarked on his nocturnal journey (Al-Israa`wal Mi`raaj). Al-Aqsa Mosque is a sacred destination to which hearts of Muslims yarn and rewards are multiplied. The Prophet (PBUH) said: "You should not undertake a special journey to visit any place other than the three mosques: the Sacred Mosque of Makkah, this Mosque of mine and Al-Aqsa Mosque (of Jerusalem). [Agreed upon].

We ,The Jordan Iftaa` Department, who are privileged with a wise Hashemite leadership that spares no effort in restoring and defending Al-Aqsa Mosque based on deeply-rooted Islamic belief that tightly bonds all Muslims, stress our rejection to all the provocative acts undertaken by the oppressive Israeli enemy against Muslims with the purpose of dividing as well as  Judaizing  the mosque. Almighty Allah Says in the Holy Quran (What means): "And who does greater evil than he who bars God's places of worship, so that His Name be not invoked in them, and strives to ruin them?; such men might never enter them, save in fear; for them in this world is degradation; and in the Hereafter a mighty chastisement." [Al-Baqarah /114].

We highly value the steadfastness of our Palestinian brothers and commend their heroic defense of Jerusalem and the holy places. We ask Allah The Exalted to bestow victory upon them and keep them strong.

In this era, it is the religious duty of all Muslims: people, leaderships, governments, and intellectuals to defend Al-Aqsa Mosque against all dangers and violations. We confirm that the guardianship over Al-Aqsa Mosque is the right of all Muslims represented by the Hashemite leadership which enjoyed that privilege by virtue of its historic legacy and the guardianship agreement signed with the Palestinian Authority, and not with the Israeli occupation authorities whose acts aren`t recognized as far as this matter is concerned. We also confirm that it is impermissible to undermine this guardianship over the holy places, or abdicate it.

We pray that Allah, The Exalted, protects Jerusalem, the Islamic sanctities and the Muslim nation. And All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling of Sharia when husband kicks the wife out of his house without a lawful excuse? Moreover, in such case, when she stays at her parents's house for several months, is she allowed to claim maintenance through a Sharia court?

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.
It isn`t permissible to kick wife out of house save for a valid reason since Almighty Allah Says (What means): "O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good." [An-Nisa`/19]. In addition, it is the duty of the husband to provide for his wife and children in kindness, and this includes food, garment and residence. Moreover, dialogue and supplication are the best means for solving marital problems; however, the wronged party may resort to court. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the authenticity of the supplication: "O Allah, bring it upon us with blessings and faith, safety and Islam, and success in what You love and are pleased with. My Lord and your Lord is Allah"?
 

On the authority of Talhah Ibn Ubayd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that the Prophet (PBUH) would say when he saw the crescent moon: "O Allah, let this moon appear over us with blessings and faith, safety and Islam. My Lord and your Lord is Allah."
This was narrated by Tirmidhi (Hadith no. 3451), who said: "It is a Hasan (good) Hadith."
And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

Is it permissible for the doctor to uncover the hair of a female patient out of necessity?

It is only permissible for him to do so when there is no female doctor, and he should examine the patient in the presence of one of her Mahrams(unmarriageable kin).

What is the ruling of Sharia on marrying a Jewish woman, dealing with the Jews, and going to Israel?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
It is allowed for a Muslim to marry a Jewish or a Christian woman provided that this doesn`t affect his religion. As for dealing with the Jews who are outside Palestine, it is the same as dealing with the Christians; it is permissible as long as it doesn`t harm Islam. As for dealing with the Jews who are inside Palestine, the ruling differs depending on the persons themselves and the situations. By the end of the day, a believer`s heart leads him/her to what is good. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
