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

Is it permissible for a woman who has become pure before the end of forty days of confinement to perform different acts of worship? and is it lawful for her husband to have sex with her?

Once postpartum bleeding ceases and she is certain that it won`t happen again, she becomes pure, and so she should perform Ghusl (ritual bath), pray, and fast. She can also have sex with her husband even before the end of (40) days because the minimum of postpartum bleeding is a moment, and the maximum is (60) days. However, the postpartum bleeding for the majority of women is (40) days, but this does not apply to rest of them.

Is ablution invalidated when blood comes out of the nose, or a wound?

Blood coming out of the nose, or a wound does not invalidate ablution, but it is preferable to make ablution as a way out of the scholars disagreement in this regard.

Is it permissible to donate corneas to Jordan Eye Bank or all the organs via telephone?

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 of his family and companions.

Corneas donation that is carried out after one's death is permissible by the Board of Iftaa'. Because this procedure is highly sensitive, the donation process

should undergoes to an accredited mechanism. And Allah, The Exalted, Knows Best  

Is it permissible for a woman in her menstrual period to recite from the Mus-haf (copy of the Quran ), or to recite by heart?

A menstruating woman is permitted neither to recite nor to touch the Quran according to what Ali Bin Abi Talib (May Allah be pleased with him) reported about the Prophet (PBUH) who was only held from reciting the Holy Quran by Janabah (Major impurity) [Al-Tirmizi in a sound Hadith]. Although Janabah and menstruation are major impurities, a menstruating woman is permitted to supplicate Allah (Duaa`) and make Zikr (Tasbihat ), even if these involved saying words from the Holy Quran, provided that she does not mean the words for themselves but as a supplication, or Zikr. Moreover, she is rewarded for not reciting the Quran during her menstrual period because she abided by the injunctions of Allah.
