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.

The General Iftaa' Dept.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling of Sharia when a man releases his sperm out of his wife`s vagina?

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.
This is called coitus interruptus and it is permissible according to Sharia when practiced by agreement of both spouses. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible to have sexual intercourse with pregnant wife? 

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
There is no sin in having sex with one`s pregnant wife as long as there is no medical condition preventing her from that. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling on using bank cards such as Visa and MasterCard?

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

It is permissible to use such cards in accordance with the following conditions: 1- The issuing body does not stipulate collecting interest upon late payments. 2- The merchant does not increase the price of the goods due to an increase in the commission collected from him by the card issuer. 3- The purchased item(s) should not be gold, silver or currency in case the card is not covered. And Allah Knows Best.

I`m a married young man. I fell in love with a widow and proposed to her but her family refused because they feared that this would have an adverse impact on the future of her children. However, we entered into unregistered marriage and told my family and even my wife about it. I`m a person who fears Allah, The Almighty and want to clear myself from any liability before Him, The Exalted. What should I do?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of The Worlds. May His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
It is imperative that you proclaim this marriage to preserve rights. Therefore, you must register it in an Islamic court. A second marriage isn`t forbidden, however, if the unregistered marriage had taken place without the consent of the woman`s guardian nor the presence of two honorable witnesses, then it is considered void and your relationship with this woman is forbidden. Therefore, you must conclude a new marriage contract with the approval of her guardian and the presence of two honorable witnesses. We advise you to fear Allah and adhere to the teachings of Sharia in this regard since sinful conduct is that which turns in your heart (making you feel uncomfortable) and you dislike that it would be disclosed to other people. And Allah The Almighy Knows Best.
