The Grand Mufti Commends the King`s Speech

 

 

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

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 an honor to commend the speech delivered by His Majesty King Abdullah before the UN General Assembly, warning against the danger and terrible effects of terrorism.

 

Today, the world is in a dire need for love, peace, mercy, justice, tolerance, equality, moderation and harmony. Allah the Almighty says {What means}: "but My mercy extendeth to all things." {Al-A`raf, 156}. These are the demands of His Majesty as an Arab Muslim leader from the Hashemite family and as a custodian of the Muslim as well as Christian holy sites.

 

I highly value the content of His Majesty`s speech and emphasize the following:

 

First: Terrorism and extremism can`t be addressed save through achieving justice and equality, ending injustice and transgression, holding the wrongdoers to account and helping the wronged.

 

Second: Acts of worship were legislated in Islam to acquaint a person with good morality and adherence to that regardless of circumstances. This is because these acts of worship should be reflected as good character that purifies one`s soul and disciplines one`s behavior with Allah and people so as not to stray from the right path. Allah says {What means}: "God commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition." {An-Nahil, 90}. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "If one does not eschew lies and false conduct, Allah has no need that he should abstain from his food and his drink."[Al-Bukhari].

 

Third: By virtue of the Hashemite custodianship over Muslim and Christian sanctities, we emphasize the right of the Palestinian people in their land and national soil as well as their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital. We also emphasize respect for peaceful coexistence and humane and ethical treatment between peoples, and reject threats to which the holy sites are subjected.

 

Fourth: Verbal communication is of great importance as it leads to reaching levels of desired perfection. Moreover, communication by word and deed, at schools and universities and throughout every life aspects, wouldn`t be complete save with good word and eschewing indecency. Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "A true believer is not involved in taunting, or frequently cursing (others) or in indecency or abusing."[At-Tirmidhi]. Accordingly, upon communication, the good word is a charity.

 

Fifth: Hatred, rancor, extremism and terrorism are signs of ignorance and enmity towards Islam. Therefore, extremists will not rest until they do mischief, wreak havoc, kill, torture and burn.

Renouncing violence, extremism and Takfir (Accusing Muslims of disbelief) as well as purifying one`s-self from evil words and deeds is the essence of prayer and all acts of worship. A man asked the Prophet, “Which of the Muslims is best?” He replied, “He from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe.” {Bukhari}.

 

We pray that Allah bless our country with safety and security and spare it the scourge of trials and tribulations, be they revealed or concealed. And all perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it a condition that the meat of the Eid sacrifice should be distributed in order for the sacrifice to be accepted by Allah?

The poor and needy should be given from that sacrifice , even if it be a small portion,(One kilo for example) as raw meat so that they would cook it the way they want. The remainder of that sacrifice is either distributed, eaten, or offered to people in a banquette .

I have a question regarding the deferred portion of the dowry (Mahr)*. Is the wife entitled to it only upon divorce or she can claim it even if divorce hasn`t taken place? Moreover, does she have the right to claim this portion after death of husband, even if he didn`t divorce her before that?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of The Worlds. May His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
In the marriage contract, it is recorded that the deferred portion of the dowry is due upon divorce or death, whatever comes first. If divorce took place first then the woman is entitled to it and if the husband died this amount must be paid from his estate. On the other hand, if the woman died then the husband becomes liable for this portion and it becomes part of the woman`s estate. We advise every husband to give this portion to his wife while alive because it is a right of hers. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
* In Islam, a Mahr is the obligation, in the form of money or possessions paid by the groom, to the bride at the time of Islamic marriage (payment also has circumstances on when and how to pay). While the mahr is often money, it can also be anything agreed upon by the bride such as jewelry, home goods, furniture, a dwelling or some land. Mahr is typically specified in the marriage contract signed upon marriage.

Should the father command his ten-year-old daughter to wear the Islamic dress?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.

The father should order his daughter to put on the Islamic dress once she turns ten, in order for her to get used to it. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on making up for missed fasting after the second half of Sha`ban (the month before Ramadhaan)?

One is obliged to make up for missed fasting before the start of next Ramadhaan, and regardless of offering it during the first, or the second half of Shab`an. This is because the prohibition mentioned in the Hadith is for offering absolute voluntary fasting in the second half of Sha`ban. And Allah Knows Best.
