A Statement Regarding the Attack on a Mosque in Egypt

 

Allah the Almighty says {What means}: "……. whoever slays a soul for other than a soul, or for corruption in the land, it shall be as if he had slain mankind altogether; and whoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind." {al-Ma`idah, 32}.

 

The General Iftaa` Department in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan strongly condemns the cowardly terrorist incident in which safe worshipers were attacked in a mosque in the Arab Republic of Egypt. The Department confirms that this cowardly act goes against all religious and human values and isn`t accepted by sound mind or human instinct. This is since killing is one of the greatest crimes in the sight of Allah the Almighty and one of the abominations that Islam warned against.

 

While warning against this misguided and deviant thought that does not respect ties of kinship or of covenant, the Department extends its deepest condolences to our brothers in Egypt. It asks Allah to accept their martyrs and wishes a speedy recovery to their wounded. It also prays that Allah bless Egypt and the rest of the world with safety and security.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a wife to leave her house without obtaining the permission of her husband, and not to come back unless he divorces her co-wife?

It is forbidden for the wife to leave without obtaining her husband`s permission, and it is impermissible for her to ask him to divorce her co-wife as this inflicts harm on the latter and such an act is forbidden in Islamic law.

Is it permissible for a praying person to make supplication in each Sajdah (a prostration) of obligatory prayer?

It is permissible for a praying person, whether praying individually, or in congregation, to make supplication during Sujood (prostration) in obligatory, or voluntary prayers. However, it is disliked for the Imam to do so since he is required to spare the prayer performers any sort of hardship, unless he is leading a certain group who don`t mind him extending the prayer.

Is prayer nullified by nose bleed?

 All praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                                           Blood coming out of the nose, or a wound doesn`t nullify prayer regardless of its quantity. And Allah Knows Best.

An Imam stood to offer a fifth Rak`ah in a four-Rak`ah prayer, and he was reminded to sit by those behind him, but he wouldn`t listen. What is the ruling on those who followed his lead knowingly and intentionally?

If the Imam stood to offer a fifth Rak`ah, those praying behind him shouldn`t have approved of that, and the prayer of those who did is considered null and void.
