The General Iftaa` Department Warns against Books Promoting Takfir, Tabdi` and Tadlil

 

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

 

The General Iftaa` Department has reviewed some books of Aqida (Islamic Creed) promoted through some competitions aiming at tagging Muslims with Kufr (Disbelief), Tabdi` (Declaring another Muslim to be an innovator), and misguiding the masses of Shlu Sunnah Wal Jama`aah. This leads to spreading the culture of exaggeration in religion, Takfir and subjecting society to the danger of facing those who carry extremist thinking and issuers of irregular Fatwas that contradict with the Prophetic methodology and undermine the constants of society`s security, belief, doctrine and intellectual balance. This is particularly since the Hashemite leadership, direct descendants of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), has adopted a methodology that rests on moderation and accepting others. These blessed efforts culminated in the Message of Amman, the Message of tolerant Islam, launched by His Majesty King Abdullah II. It aims to adopt moderate thinking that unites the Muslim nation and accepts the other under the umbrella of Islam`s mercy, tolerance and moderation.

 

The Department also confirms rejecting intellectual extremism and strictness and opts for dialoguing and arguing with wisdom and fair preaching, as taught in the Glorious Quran. Allah says {what means}: " Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance." {An-Nahil, 125}.

 

In conclusion, emanating from its national and religious duty, the General Iftaa` Department warns against publishing and circulating such books as they pose a great danger to society and its religious as well as intellectual security. And all perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

I work in a government institution that gives an additional three dinars per hour I work. The manager combines students into a single session because attendance is low, and the material taught to all groups is the same. I am paid for two hours, although I actually taught only one session, noting that my transportation costs one and a half dinars. What is the ruling?

The only amount you are permitted to take/have is for one hour work. And Allah Knows Best.

A woman didn't fufill fasting of the month of Ramadan two years ago, due to pregnancy and breastfeeding, at the time being she is making up the missed Ramadan. What is the ruling of Sharia? And what is due on her? 

Whosoever break the fast during Ramadan or didn't fast at all due to health concerns, is obliged to make up the missed fasts whenever she could so long as making up missed Ramadan didn't extend  to the coming one, and if next one arrived without fulling fasting the missed one, the ransom is 60 grams for each missed day (Equals 60 piasters to one Dinar for each day). And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.  

I`m a pious Muslim woman, but my husband isn`t, what should I do?

You should exercise patience, make supplication that Allah guides him to the straight path, and keep advising him kindly.

I work for a company whose manager refuses to allow employees to leave during work hours. Do I incur sin if I secretly went out to join the congregation at the Masjid? Is doing so considered a breach of trust?

Praise be to the Lord of the Worlds.

We recommend that you pray at work to encourage your colleagues to follow suit, because whoever guides to good has the like of the reward of the person who actually does it. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
