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 sick person to pray while sitting on a chair?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It is permissible for a sick person, who is unable to stand up, to offer prayer while sitting on a chair.

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.

Is a wife considered sinful if she asked for divorce because her husband married another woman?

A second marriage is lawful, and so it is impermissible for you to ask for divorce because of that. If you are certain that you won`t be able to deliver Allah`s rights and those of your husband`s , then it is permissible for you to ask for Khul`a (Divorce on the demand of the wife). However, you should exercise patience since after difficulties, there is easiness by the will of Allah.

What is the ruling on Qonot Du`a (supplication) at dawn prayer?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It is a confirmed Sunnah, and whoever leaves it should perform Sujood As-Sahw (prostration of forgetfulness). And Allah Knows Best.
