Mourning Homeland Martyrs/The Death of Colonel Abdul Razzaq Dalabeeh (Statement)

 

"Think not of those who are slain in God’s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord; They rejoice in the bounty provided by God: And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve. They glory in the Grace and the bounty from God, and in the fact that God suffereth not the reward of the Faithful to be lost (in the least)." {Al-Imran/169-171}.

 

The General Iftaa` Department mourns the death of Colonel Abdul Razzaq Dalabeeh who was killed cowardly and in a cold blood in the course of his sacred duty in preserving the country`s security. This heinous crime reflects a criminal behavior that aims to sow the seeds of discord amongst members of society to shake its stability and turn it into an easy prey, in addition to violating all values and principles of Islam and humanity.

 

The Iftaa' Dept. extends its condolences to His Majesty the King, the martyr`s family, and the security forces praying that Allah empowers them with patience and accepts the martyr in paradise along with the martyrs of the Battles of Mu`tah, Al-Yarmouk, Al-Karamah (Jordan Valley) and Al-Aqsa Mosque. Ibn ‘Abbas reported God's Messenger as saying: "There are two eyes which will never be touched by hell, an eye which weeps from fear of God and an eye which spends the night on guard in God’s path." 

Our security forces will continue to defend Jordan against those who seek to destabilize its security and stability.

 

Finally, we pray that Allah protects Jordan and help it continue standing firm in the face of those who seek to destabilize its security and stability. To Allah we belong and to Him we return.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on swimming while fasting?

Swimming while fasting is disliked (makruh) due to the risk of water entering the body cavity (jauf) through the nose, ears, or mouth, which would break the fast.
Ramadan is a month of tasbeeh (glorifying Allah), not Sibaha (swimming).

A man insulted the Divine Essence; is it obligatory for him to perform Ghusl?

 
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
Insulting or blaspheming the Divine Essence (Dhat al-Ilahiyyah) constitutes apostasy (Riddah). The perpetrator of this grave sin must immediately repeat the two testimonies of faith (Shahadah) and sincerely repent to Allah the Exalted. It is recommended (Sunnah) for them to perform a ritual bath (Ghusl), though it is not a mandatory condition [for the validity of their return to Islam]. And Allah the Exalted knows best.

What is the Du`a (supplication) of Istikhara (guidance prayer)?

O Allah, I consult You as You are All-Knowing and I appeal to You to give me power as You are Omnipotent, I ask You for Your great favor, for You have power and I do not, and You know all of the hidden matters. O Allah! If you know that this matter (then he should mention it) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, and for my life in the Hereafter, or he said: "for my present and future life" then make it (easy) for me. And if you know that this matter is not good for me in my religion, my livelihood and my life in the Hereafter, or he said: "for my present and future life" then keep it away from me and take me away from it and choose what is good for me wherever it is and please me with it."

Is it valid to share in the 'aqīqah by contributing a seventh share of a camel or cow?

All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
Yes, it is permissible. If a group of people jointly share in the slaughter of a camel or a cow on behalf of seven individuals, this is valid — regardless of whether all of them intend the 'aqīqah, or some intend the 'aqīqah, others the uḍḥiyyah, and others simply the purchase of meat. And Allah Almighty knows best.
