About the Drawing Offending Almighty Allah

 

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

Islam has played a great role in human life as well as in building noble values that spread justice, tolerance, and mercy. Muslims have carried this noble mission throughout the ages, spreading justice and mercy and fulfilling their role in building human civilization. They were torches of guidance and light wherever they settled and traveled.

 

A group of people exploited the call to confront violence and extremism and attacked Almighty Allah and religious symbols. They launched a fierce attack on Islam in a bid to undermine it and distort its concepts under the pretext of confronting violence and extremism, exploiting the actions of extremists and criminal Takfiris (Those who accuse Muslims to be disbelievers). They portrayed Islam as their enemy and exceeded limits in distorting its image. They sometimes offended Almighty Allah and sometimes our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. In doing so, they are no less extreme than the extremists themselves. In fact, they are working to fan the flames of extremism and ignite sedition and division within society.

 

We have already stated that extremism has no religion or sect, and that it is strange to Islam, all religions and heavenly laws. Jordan was ahead in warning against this distortion by launching the Amman Message, the message of tolerant Islam, in 2004.

 

The mockery of Almighty Allah that has been published by some people incites hatred and spreads sedition in the country. This is something that must be stood up against with all firmness and determination. All Muslims bear the responsibility of defending Almighty Allah and speaking out against those who mock Him. This can be done by upholding Quranic ethics, presenting the luminous image of Islam to the world, refuting the doubts that are directed at it, avoiding violence, terrorism, and killing for these things only serve to distort the image of Islam and Muslims.

 

We, at the General Iftaa` Department, appreciate the measures taken by the government and security agencies to hold accountable those who have insulted Almighty Allah and religious symbols. We also demand that the penalties for those who insult religions be increased within the framework of the law and public order. We also demand that they refrain from inciting sedition and sectarian tensions, so that the call to Allah the Almighty continues to be conducted with wisdom and fair preaching, away from all forms of violence that ignite the fire of sedition.

 

We call on fellow Jordanians to stand together in the face of calls for violence and extremism and to stay away from spreading malicious rumors and repeating them without considering the consequences and evils that result from them, which could lead to the destruction of society and the undermining of its foundations.

 

We stress the need to resist all forms of extremism and to fortify our Jordanian society against its diseases, regardless of its source or form.

 

We also call on the media to play its role in conveying the correct image of Islam and not to follow rumors, and to be careful to consolidate the values of tolerant Islam and highlight its bright image. Experts of this field are responsible for bearing this trust in the best way without distortion, falsification or exaggeration. The word is a dangerous weapon that has two edges. If it is honest, trustworthy and good, it will lead to good and construction. If it is false and corrupt, it will lead to evil and destruction.

 

We ask Allah the Almighty to keep our country safe and secure, and to protect it from all evils and forms of sedition, revealed and concealed. Indeed, He is the All-Hearing and answers the call of those who invoke Him. And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the Quran from the computer without actually touching the Quran?

It is not permissible for a woman in her menstrual period, or in postpartum to recite the Quran, even by heart, or without actually touching the Quran itself. Recitation itself is what is prohibited on her regardless of how it is done. However, it is permissible for her to surf through the Quran by her eyes, or to recall it in her head without uttering the words. There is no harm for her to look at the Quranic verses on the computer without touching it, or to utter the words as this is called looking not reciting or reading.

Is it permissible to fast the six days of Shawwal before making up for the missed fasts of Ramadan?

● If a person missed fasts due to a valid excuse, they may fast the six days of Shawwal before making up for Ramadan fasts, because qada (makeup fasts) in this case can be delayed, while the six days of Shawwal must be observed within Shawwal.
● However, if a person missed fasts without a valid excuse, they must make up for the missed fasts immediately after Eid, before fasting the six days of Shawwal. If they fast the six days first, it is valid, but they must still make up for the missed Ramadan fasts afterward.
It is also permissible to combine the intention of qada (makeup fasts) and the six days of Shawwal in one fast. However, it is better to fast them separately, as this increases the reward and avoids scholarly disagreement regarding combining intentions.

What is the ruling of Islamic Law on wudu (ablution) when there is an adhesive substance on the hand that is difficult to remove?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
The general principle is: if what is applied to the limbs of wudu' (ablution) does not form a barrier substance preventing water from reaching the skin, then the wudu' is valid despite its presence. However, if these substances prevent water from reaching the skin, the wudu' is not valid with their presence, and they must be removed so that water reaches the hair or skin without any barrier.
Shaykh al-Islam, the Imam an-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, says: "If there is wax, dough, henna, or similar substances on some of his limbs [of wudu'], and this prevents water from reaching any part of the limb, then his purification (tahara) is not valid — regardless of whether the amount is much or little. But if there remains on the hand or elsewhere only the trace and color of the henna, without its substance [i.e., the physical residue itself], or the trace of a liquid oil such that the water touches the skin of the limb and flows over it, though it does not remain [as a barrier] — then his purification is valid." [Al-Majmu' , Vol.1/P.529]. And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.

When is it Sunnah to slaughter the 'aqīqah?

All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
It is Sunnah for the 'aqīqah to be slaughtered on the seventh day from the birth of the newborn. According to the sounder position, the day of birth itself is counted as the first of the seven days. Thus, for example, if the child is born on a Saturday, the 'aqīqah is to be slaughtered on the following Friday. If the child is born at night, the count begins from the day that follows. And Allah Almighty knows best.
