The Prophetic Migration... A Journey of Building a Firmly Established State

 

All praise is to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master Muhammad, his family, companions, and followers.

In these blessed days, we breathe in the fragrance of that sacred journey overflowing with messages and lessons—the anniversary of the Prophetic Hijrah.

The noble Hijrah was the journey of building a strong state with its institutions: its mosque, its army, and its economy. A state strong in the firm faith of its people—a state that would protect the religion and safeguard its citizens who defend their faith, identity, land, honor, and resources.

This beginning, this strength, and this divine empowerment explain to us the secret behind that enmity—the reason why the disbelievers of Mecca shifted from merely persecuting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his noble companions to conspiring to kill him once they learned of his intention to migrate and establish a state.

A strong state with a firm identity that defends its faith, people, and resources has always—and will always—infuriate our enemies across time and place. That is why their tactics shifted from oppression, economic warfare, and propaganda to outright intent to kill.

They conspired to assassinate the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as stated in the following verse (What means): "And [remember, O Prophet] when the disbelievers plotted against you to detain, kill, or expel you. They planned, but Allah also planned. And Allah is the best of planners." [Al-Anfal/30].

The use of the word "plotted" indicates that the disbelievers persist in their schemes and hostility. Their plotting against this religion continues—against our sacred symbols, against our major causes and beliefs, and against this Ummah, its principles, and its identity. We see it today: militarily, as we witness in the oppression of our people in Palestine; intellectually, in the waves of atheism, skepticism toward the sources of Islamic rulings, and attacks on the Qur’an, Sunna, and scholars; and morally, in the campaigns promoting deviance in relationships, opposing Islamic rulings. All of this is part of their plotting. Yet the verse reminds us that the schemes of Allah’s enemies hold no weight or value.

Today, as Allah Has Blessed us with this sacred land and the blessings of security and faith, it is our duty to safeguard these favors. We must understand that preserving them is a defeat for our enemies. We must recognize that the Qur’an, Sunna, and divine rulings are the guarantees of our nation’s strength and unity. May Allah protect Jordan and perpetuate its honor under the blessed Hashemite banner, led by His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al-Hussein.

We ask Allah The Almighty to grant us victory and to firmly establish the religion He has chosen for us. Indeed, He is The Guardian of that and The All-Powerful over it. And all praise is to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on someone who vowed to fast for two consecutive months, but failed to do so?

He is obliged to fulfill his vow by fasting for two consecutive months, but if he fails to do so then, it remains a debt on him until he either fulfills his vow, or dies. In case of his death, his guardian is supposed to fast on his behalf, or donate food from his estate in return for fasting, but if the guardian fails to do so then, it is all in the Hands of Allah.

What is the ruling of Sharia when husband kicks the wife out of his house without a lawful excuse? Moreover, in such case, when she stays at her parents's house for several months, is she allowed to claim maintenance through a Sharia court?

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.
It isn`t permissible to kick wife out of house save for a valid reason since Almighty Allah Says (What means): "O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may Take away part of the dower ye have given them,-except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good." [An-Nisa`/19]. In addition, it is the duty of the husband to provide for his wife and children in kindness, and this includes food, garment and residence. Moreover, dialogue and supplication are the best means for solving marital problems; however, the wronged party may resort to court. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a wife`s family to demand her husband to divorce her although she doesn`t want that?

It is forbidden for them to do that in case their daughter doesn`t want divorce unless there was a sin that continues as long as the marriage survives.

What is the ruling on determining the sex of the baby whether through killing the female spermatozoa, or any other way in order to have a male?

If it is done through having a certain type of food, taking a certain type of medication, or organizing the time of the marital relation, then it is permissible.
