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

I suffer from excessive gas, especially when I pray, and I redo my ablution more than seven times. I have obsessive thoughts about this matter, even though I went to a doctor and was given medication that did not help. What should I do?
 

If the release of gas stops at certain times between prayers, you should wait for that time, perform ablution, and pray. However, if it is continuous, you should perform ablution after the prayer time begins and pray, and the release of gas during the prayer is excused. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
