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

Is it permissible to make ablution without answering the call of nature after waking up?

Washing front and back openings (Istinjaa`) is not a condition for the validity of ablution because it is done to remove Najaasah (impurity), thus if there is no Najaasah, there is no need for that, and then it is permissible to make ablution without answering the call of nature. However, prayer is invalidated if there is Najaasah on the anus ,or the front opening, so it (Najaasah) must be removed for the prayer to become valid, and not the ablution.

Is it permissible for a woman to give the ransom (Fidyah) for breaking her fast to her granddaughter (her son`s daughter)?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
It is permissible for a woman to give the ransom (Fidya) for breaking her fast in Ramadan to her granddaughter (her son’s daughter), provided that the girl is poor and her basic needs are not being met by the maintenance (Nafaqah) of those who are lislamically obligated to provide for her. And Allah the Exalted knows best.

A person prays in a certain spot within the rows of the mosque, and gets angry if someone else prayed at his spot. What is the ruling on this behavior?

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                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) make it prohibited for a Muslim from having/taking a certain spot in the mosque when performing prayers if they arrived and find it occupied, furthermore; it is the religious duty on others (praying people) to offer a piece of advice to alert the ones who don't know, that whoever reaches a spot first at the mosque having a priority/privilege upon others in that spot. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on a person in a state of major impurity (junub) or a menstruating woman (ha'id) reciting the Quran from memory?

It is not permissible for a menstruating woman, a postpartum woman, or a person in a state of major impurity to recite anything from the Quran, whether from memory, from the Quran, from a phone, or a computer. It is also not permissible for them to touch the Quran, based on what was reported from Ali bin Abi Talib that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was not prevented from anything regarding the Quran except major impurity (janabah). (Reported by al-Tirmidhi who said it is a hasan sahih hadith). Menstruation and postpartum bleeding are analogous to major impurity (janabah) as they are all major impurities (hadath akbar).
For those mentioned, it is permissible to mention Allah and supplicate even with verses from the Quran, provided they do not intend them as recitation of the Quran, but intend them as remembrance (dhikr) or supplication (du'a). And Allah the Almighty knows best.
