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 everyone obligated to follow the fatwas of his country, and if we adopt the fatwas of scholars of other countries, is it considered a sin?

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

It is permissible for the person who isn't specialized in Sharia sciences to apply the opinions of renowned scholars whom he trusts ,whether they be from his own country or not ,but if the scholars have different opnions regarding a certain issue/matter, then he must consult someone who is more knowledgeable than himself .It is preferable that you (the questioner) specify the case of your interest ,so that we could give you a more specific answer since some scholars deliver fatwas based on illogical/atypical opinions which should not be applied no matter what .And Allah The Exalted Knows Best.

What is the ruling on loudly sending prayers on the Prophet (PBUH ) after the call for prayer Athaan?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                            Sending prayers on the Prophet after Athaan is a Sunnah for the Mou`zen (caller for prayer ) and the hearer. However, there is no harm in doing it loudly after the end of Athaan, but sometimes, it shouldn`t so that people wouldn`t think that it is an integral part of the Athaan. And Allah Knows Best.

I made a vow "If the Israeli troops retreated out of Gaza strip I will buy a cake from a certain bakery" and it happened. Am I obliged to buy from the same bakery?

You are obliged to buy from the same bakery. And Allah Knows Best.

What is considered a woman`s Awrah (parts of the body that must be concealed during prayer) while offering prayer, and is her foot part of it?

A woman`s whole body is considered an Awrah while offering prayer except the hands and the face. Thus, her foot is an Awrah as well. And Allah Knows Best.
