Statement in Appreciation of the UNESCO's Resolution on Al-Aqsa Mosque

All perfect 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.

 

The General Iftaa` Department appreciates the Resolution issued by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) confirming that Al-Aqsa Mosque and the entire Al-Haram al-Sharif are a sacred Islamic site dedicated to the worship of Muslims.

 

This honorable resolution issued by this global organization is a historic one expressing the living conscience of the world that rejects injustice, aggression and the usurpation of the historical rights of peoples. It also expresses support for the Palestinian people, our brothers, stationed in Al-Aqsa Mosque and throughout Palestine. We hope that this bold resolution will be an incentive for the international community to carry out its duty towards the Palestinian question as a true and just cause for both the Palestinian people and the Islamic nation.

 

As Jordanians, we are all proud of the historical Hashemite Custodianship over Al-Aqsa Mosque constituting a force and a preventive measure for protecting Islamic sanctities against Judaization, and keeping them as historical Islamic heritage bearing witness to the right of Muslims in this blessed land.

We ask Allah the Almighty to help us return Palestine and the Al-Aqsa Mosque to the possession of the Muslims, and to bless us with praying there safely, and all praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a wife to boycott (not to attend to his different needs) her husband?

It isn`t permissible for the woman to boycott her husband unless he is the reason behind that, and it is recommended that both spouses seek the advice of righteous people to make reconciliation.

I am a doctor, and sometimes I refer patients to the hospital for surgical interventions, and they give me a commission from the fees of the surgeries, even though I do not perform these surgeries. What is the ruling?

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.
If this commission is charged to the patient as part of the operation costs, then it is not permissible. Additionally, a doctor should only recommend surgery if there is a genuine medical need, and the hospital should only perform an operation when necessary. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

What is the Islamic ruling regarding a person finding buried treasure, whether gold or artifacts, and what is their share of it?

If the buried treasure is Islamic, it is considered Luqta (lost property), and the finder must announce it to locate its owner. If all efforts to find the owner fail, the finder may take ownership of it. If the treasure is non-Islamic and consists of gold or silver, zakat must be paid on it, which is one-fifth of its value. And Allah Knows Best.

What is meant by "Recalcitrance of the woman toward her husband doesn`t render her divorced"?

All perfect 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.
It means that her being recalcitrant (Nashiz) doesn`t make her divorced. Rather, she has to be divorced by husband or Sharia judge to be considered divorced. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
