Regarding the Violation of the Sanctity of Al Madinah Al Munawwarah

                          Statement on Mourning the Saudi Security Services Martyrs of Duty

 

Allah the Almighty Says {what means}: "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." {Al-Imran, 169-171}.

 

With deep sadness and sorrow, the General Iftaa` Department mourns the Saudi security services martyrs of duty who were treacherously killed in Al Medina Al Munawwarah near the Prophet's Mosque and during the last days of the holy month of Ramadan: the month of forgiveness, mercy and tolerance.

 

Terrorists with ideologies of darkness assassinated a group of soldiers who were carrying out their sacred national duty in preserving the security of Al Medina Al Munawwarah and protecting the guests of the Most Merciful, visitors and performers of Umrah. This is a severe transgression against innocent individuals guarding their homeland and preserving security to enable Muslims perform the rituals of Islam, and consequently violating the sanctity of this city about which the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Medina is a sanctuary from that place to that. Its trees should not be cut and no heresy should be innovated nor any sin should be committed in it, and whoever innovates in it a heresy or commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people." {Transmitted by Bukhari}. This heinous act took place during the holy month of Ramadan, reflecting a criminal behavior that goes against all the values of Islam and humanity. These thugs respect not in Muslims the ties either of kinship or of covenant. 

 

The Department extends its deepest condolences to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the families of the martyrs, asking Allah The Almighty to Give them patience and solace, and to accept the martyrs in paradise along with the prophets (PBUT) (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), and the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good): Ah! What a beautiful fellowship! In this regard, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): "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." {Transmitted by Tirmidhi}.  The blood of these innocent Muslims will remain witness to the crimes of this despicable criminal group. 

 

                                Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we will return

                            (The wrongdoers will come to know what ˹evil˺ end they will meet)

Summarized Fatawaa

I`m a cashier at a branch of the Civil Service Consumer Corporation. Sometimes, customers pay more than the due amount. Do I have the right to take that extra money knowing that I cover shortages from my own salary?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
If customers give that money willingly to help you with the potential loss then this is permissible. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

I am a wholesale gold trader. My clients are retail gold shop owners. I sell them gold jewelry and ornaments on credit, and they repay me in weekly installments over a period of two months or more. The payments are made in cash for the labor charges and for the gold they owe me. In return, they may give me either cash or used gold.
 

It is not permissible to sell gold or silver on an installment basis or with a deferred payment; rather, immediate exchange is required. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Gold for gold, silver for silver, wheat for wheat, barley for barley, dates for dates, and salt for salt, like for like, hand to hand. Whoever gives more or asks for more has engaged in usury; the giver and receiver are the same in this regard." (Muslim). Additionally, the weight of the gold must be equal when exchanging new for used; otherwise, it involves usury. The solution is to buy the used gold with cash, then sell the new gold for cash as well. However, payment must be made at the time of the transaction in both cases. Alternatively, one could take the used gold with the intention of refining it, reshape it into a new form, or repair it, then take a fee for the workmanship or repair. And Allah Knows Best

Should one obey his mother even if she was wrong?

Obeying one`s mother is mandatory in matters that are beneficial to her and as long as she drive her childrennot to commit a sin.

Is it permissible for a woman to ride a taxi without a Mahram (unmarriageable kin) in order to attend a gathering of knowledge?

It is permissible for the woman to pursue the knowledge that she needs in order to perform the religious requirements due on her if there was nobody to teach her at home, provided that there is no temptation involved. Moreover, we don`t recommend that she rides a taxi without a Mahram although such an act isn`t from the forbidden Khulwah (seclusion).
