Statement on Church Bombings that Took Place in the Arab Republic of Egypt

 

With great sorrow, the General Iftaa` Department of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan received the sad news of the bombing that took place in churches in the Arab Republic of Egypt causing the death of a number of innocent people. We strongly condemn this cowardly action, which isn`t approved by true religion or belief, and express our condolences to the families of the victims. This is because the Prophet (PBUH), the rightly guided caliphs, and the rulers that followed them were commanded to preserve the life of worshippers in their monasteries and places of worship, in addition to the lives of the children, women and the elderly. Allah the Almighty says {What means}: "And did not God Check one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed be full of mischief: But God is full of bounty to all the worlds." {Al-Baqarah, 251}. In fact, Islam guaranteed freedom of worship for followers of different faiths. The Messenger of Allah commanded the Muslim army, upon leaving for battle, "not to kill worshippers secluded in monasteries and other places of worship." {The Mosannaf of Abed Al-Razzak}.

 

This action aims to incite sectarian conflict among the people of the same country-who have coexisted for hundreds of years in harmony-and aims to destroy not only the security and peace of the Egyptian people but also that of all Muslim peoples, spread terror, destruction and corruption in the land. Allah the Almighty says {What means}: "When he turns his back, His aim everywhere is to spread mischief through the earth and destroy crops and cattle. But God loveth not mischief." {Al-Baqarah, 205}. We are confident that our brothers in Egypt are fully aware of this malicious plot, and they will not allow those terrorists to sow the seeds of discord among the followers of different religions and sects since these terrorist groups kill all people, be they Muslim or non-Muslim.

 

We ask Almighty Allah to protect our country from seditions and afflictions, revealed and concealed, indeed! He is All Hearing and answers the call of those who invoke Him. And all perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

In our region in southern Oman, specifically in the city of Taqah, there is a mosque that they say was built hundreds of years ago. This mosque is surrounded by graves, meaning it is in the middle and the graves are around it. People in our area differ, with some considering it permissible and others considering it forbidden to pray there. Moreover, my grandmother saw in a dream that she entered this mosque..."
 

Praying in this mosque is valid and and there is reprehensibility in its location so long as no grave exist within it. Besides, Sharia rulings aren't derived out of dreams. And Allah Knows Best. 

I am a disabled woman who has vaginal discharges and can`t control her urine. Therefore, I combine prayers. Is that permissible?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his family and companions.

According to the Hanbali doctrine, it is permissible for the sick to combine prayers. In your case (Asker), it is better that you delay the noon prayer until a few minutes before the afternoon prayer in order to minimize the time span between the two and perform each alone. In addition, you can do the same with sunset and evening prayers. Finally, we ask Allah to bless you with recovery. And Allah Knows Best.

A woman went for Hajj while pregnant, gave birth after leaving Arafat, and was unable to perform the Tawaf Al-Ifadah. If she cannot stay until she becomes pure from postpartum bleeding (Nifas) and she is from a distant country, what is she liable for?
 

This woman is advised to leave Mecca in a state of Ihram if the caravan departs. Once she reaches a distance where returning to Mecca is not feasible, she should consider herself in a state of being prevented (Muhsar). She may then exit Ihram, and she is required to offer a sacrificial animal (Blood) at that location. Additionally, she must perform a compensatory Hajj at the earliest possible opportunity. And Allah Almighty Knows Best.

 

 

 

In life insurance with the Potash Company, enrollment is mandatory, and employees have the right to receive a cash amount from the insurance for surgeries and illnesses while employed by the company. Is the amount given by the insurance in this case permissible (Halal) or prohibited (Haram)?
 

Since the insurance is compulsory, then what the insurance company pays in return for medical treatment is similar to donation, and I pray to Allah The Almighty that this is lawful even if this service is deducted from your salary in return of it, so in this manner you take back some of the amount you paid in form of above treatment. And Allah Knows Best.
