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 woman to wear underwear while performing Umrah?

Yes, it is permissible for a woman to wear underwear while performing Umrah. This is because she should keep her regular clothes that cover all her body while being in a state of Ihram (ritual consecration) for Hajj, or Umrah. However, she should uncover her face and hands, but it is permissible for her to let her head-covering garment drape from her head down over her face when non-Mahram (i.e., marriageable) men pass by her. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a menopausal woman who has blood discharges to fast?

If she reached the age of menopause, and her menses stopped, but later she saw blood discharges that lasted a complete day and night (24) hours, then it is menstrual blood. Still, if these blood discharges lasted less than a complete day and night (24) hours, then it is not menstrual blood, but it is bleeding outside the monthly period (Istihadah), and it does not prevent her from prayer and fast, but she has to make ablution for every prayer.

What should a person, who doubts the validity of his Wudu, or over performs it, do?

One who doubts the validity of his/her Wudu while performing it should redo it until he/she is certain of having attained purity. But, if doubt was after having performed Wudu, then he/she should not pay attention to that as doubt after the end of an act of worship does not count. This is of course in case doubt was within the reasonable limits since once it goes beyond that, it becomes a whispering of the Shaytaan (devil) which he/she should ignore as the Wudu is valid.

Is it permissible for a Muslim woman to leave her house adorned and without wearing her proper Islamic attire?

A Muslim woman isn't permitted to leave her house adorned and without wearing proper Islamic attire. And Allah Knows Best.
