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

Is it permissible for a father to divide his property amongst his children except one under the pretext that he has paid for the latter`s tuition? This is knowing that his other children were given the opportunity to pursue their education but didn`t because they were educationally poor. Moreover, is he allowed to give his other children who have helped him with growing his business?

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.
The father should be just between his children as regards gifts, in case they had similar circumstances. However, if any had a special merit, then it is permissible for the father to take that into account to be just. For example, giving his children who have helped in making his fortune and received no reward for that or giving the little ones because they haven`t taken as much as the older ones or giving the sick child who is unable to make a living. The most important thing is achieving justice. Moreover, the father is not interdicted by any of his children, and he is free to do whatever he wants with his money and Allah will call him to account as regards observing justice between his children. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible to swear by (Allah "The Living")?

Yes, it is permissible because "The Living" is one of Allah`s Attributes.

Is Zakah (obligatory charity) due on rented property, and how is it calculated?

Zakah isn`t due on the rented property itself, but on the saved income from that property if it reached Nissab (minimum amount liable for Zakah), and a whole lunar year had lapsed over saving it.

What is the ruling of Sharia on exfoliating the skin on the face?

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
According to medical doctors, exfoliation means removing a layer of skin to expose new skin. If this procedure is harmless then it is permissible since this is a kind of treatment and not skinning. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
