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 it permissible for a woman to swear a false oath by the Holy Quran to please her distrustful husband?

It is forbidden for a person to do so since this is considered a false oath(Yamaan Ghamoos) which dips(Yaghmos) its taker in Hellfire if he/she doesn`t seek repentance, and he/she has to expiate for that oath. You should avoid any doubtful acts so that your husband`s chest remains clear from the evil suggestions of the devil.

Should vowed fast be offered in consecutive days, or not?

Vowed fast should be offered in line with what was originally intended by the vow-maker, either consecutively, or not.

Is Zakah(obligatory charity)due on an indebted merchant?

Debt doesn`t abrogate the dueness of Zakah, thus a debtor who has money, articles of merchandise, or other Zakah funds at his disposal should pay Zakah from them.

A man has married a second wife and deprived the first from provision and overnight stay. He spent most of his time and wealth on his second wife. After sometime, the latter got sick and was diagnosed with breast cancer, which made him forsake her in bed and return to his first wife. What is the position of Sharia on this?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
It is forbidden for a woman to forsake her husband in bed without a lawful excuse since this is one of the mutual rights of spouses. When the wife abstains from making love to her husband without a lawful excuse, she is considered sinful. This is because the Prophet (PBUH) said: "If a woman spends the night deserting her husband's bed (does not sleep with him), then the angels send their curses on her till she comes back (to her husband)." [Agreed upon]. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
