Statement on Preserving Country and Expressing Opinion through Peaceful Means
Author : The General Iftaa` Department

All perfect praise be to Allah The Lord of The Worlds. Blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad, his family and noble companions.

Jordanians take pride in their country as an oasis of security and stability, being the country of the Muhajirin (emigrants) and the Ansar (helpers), and a safe haven for those in distress. God willing, Jordan will continue as such beating on the awareness of its people and the wisdom of its youth who built it with tenacity and ability. In these times, we are going through; we affirm that it is the right of citizens to express their views and attitudes through peaceful and legal methods. However, we call on all Jordanians to unite and cooperate in piety and righteousness, preserve national unity, maintain security and stability, and prevent any transgression against public or private property. Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancour: fear Allah. For Allah Is Strict in punishment. {Al-Mai`dah/2}.

 

The General Iftaa` Dept. affirms that it is obligatory to abide by the rules of Sharia, resort to reason and logic, observe interests of citizens and country, preserve public and private property, protect national achievements, and carry out comprehensive reform in various spheres of life. This is to achieve what Allah Stated in the following verse: "I only desire (your) betterment to the best of my power; and my success (in my task) can only come from God. In Him I trust, and unto Him I look." {Hud/88}.

 

This great religion, Islam, forbids aggression against funds and property, both public and private, honor and life. It also forbids intimidating people and regards such an act one of the grave sins. The Messenger of Allah Says (What means): "Everything belonging to a Muslim is inviolable for a Muslim; his honor, his blood and property." {Transmitted by Muslim}. He also Says (What means): "Verily your blood, your property and your honor are as sacred and inviolable as the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours and in this town of yours." {Transmitted by Bukhari}.

 

We call upon the scholars of the nation, the wise and the people of consequence to play their guiding and reformist role and take the supreme interests of the nation and country into consideration. We ask The Almighty to Keep our country safe and secure, Spare it along with the rest of the Muslim countries seditions, visible and invisible. Indeed, He Is The Best to Protect and The Best to help.

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.

Who is the "Capable Person" for whom the Udhiyah is recommended?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

The "Capable Person" (Al-Qadir): This refers to anyone who possesses surplus wealth beyond their own essential needs and the financial maintenance of their wife, children, or whoever is under their legal care, during the day of Eid and the three days of Tashreeq (the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah), as this is the designated timeframe for the sacrifice. And Allah Knows Best.

If a person enters a mosque and finds the congregation in the final tashahhud, which is more virtuous — joining them or waiting for a second congregation to catch the opening takbīr (takbīrat al-iḥrām)?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
If a worshipper finds a congregation that is about to finish its prayer, and he hopes to catch the entire prayer from the beginning with another congregation, it is more virtuous for him to pray with this first congregation and then repeat the prayer with the second one — provided he does not intend to confine himself to a single prayer. If, however, he intends to perform only one prayer, then it is more virtuous for him to wait for the second congregation rather than joining the first, so that he may attain the reward of congregational prayer for every single rakʿah.
Al-Khaṭīb al-Sharbīnī, may Allah have mercy upon him, states: "If members of a congregation enter the mosque while the imam is in the final tashahhud, al-Qāḍī Ḥusayn held that it is recommended for them to join him in prayer, and that they should not delay in order to form a second congregation. Al-Mutawallī, however, affirmed the opposite view, and al-Qāḍī's own statement elsewhere supports this latter position, which is the relied-upon view. In fact, it is more virtuous for a person who has missed part of the prayer with one congregation, and who hopes to catch another congregation with whom he can attain the entire prayer within its proper time, to delay so that he may catch it in full with them. This applies when he intends to confine himself to a single prayer; otherwise, it is more virtuous for him to pray with the first group and then repeat the prayer with the others." [Mughnī al-Muḥtāj,Vol. 3/P.186] And Allah the Almighty knows best.

Is it permissible for a woman to offer the obligatory prayer after Adhaan (call for prayer), and before Iqamah (The announcement that the prayer is about to begin) in the mosque?
 

Yes, it is permissible for a woman to offer the obligatory prayer immediately after the Adhan and before the Iqamah in the mosque. And Allah Knows Best.
