The General Iftaa` Department Commends the Decisive Security Operation: Jordan is Impervious to Terrorism and Terrorists

 

The General Iftaa` Department commends the major security achievement of all our security agencies in apprehending the perpetrators of the cowardly terrorist attack that struck Karak Governorate. This highly coordinated operation reaffirms that Jordan possesses highly ready, vigilant, and capable security services, and that the long arm of the law can reach anyone who attempts to compromise national security and stability.

The Department expresses its profound appreciation and pride in the courage, professionalism, and high competence demonstrated by the security agencies in handling this terrorist crime—tracking down, locating, and arresting its perpetrators. This stance reaffirms that the security of Jordanians and the protection of their lives and property constitute a red line that will not be crossed or compromised.

This security achievement sends a clear and decisive message to anyone tempted to target Jordan or terrorize its people: no criminal will escape justice, terror will never prevail over the authority of the state, and Jordan will remain impervious to all attempts at sabotage, sedition, and extremist ideology.

The Department affirms that this terrorist crime, which targeted innocent people, has absolutely no connection to Islam. Taking a life that Allah has made sacred, terrorizing peaceful citizens, and attacking people or places of worship are heinous crimes strictly forbidden by the Sharīʿah and condemned on both humanitarian and moral grounds.

The Department salutes the Nashāmā (the valiant personnel) of the Jordanian Armed Forces (the Arab Army), the Public Security Directorate, the General Intelligence Department, and all other security agencies, as well as everyone who contributed to this operation and the ongoing efforts to protect the homeland. It affirms that their dedication serves as Jordan's impregnable shield and fortress against terrorism, extremism, and crime.

The Department further affirms that Jordan—under its wise Hashemite leadership, sustained by the awareness and cohesion of its people, and protected by the strength of its military and security institutions—will always prevail over terrorism and its adherents. The nation's security, stability, and national unity will forever remain paramount, rising above all other considerations.

The Department reaffirms its unwavering solidarity with His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn al-Hussein and our military and security institutions in protecting Jordan and safeguarding its security and stability. It prays to Allah the Almighty to protect our beloved homeland, grant mercy to our nation's fallen heroes, grant swift healing to the wounded, and continue to bless Jordan with enduring peace and safety. May Allah protect Jordan and its Hashemite leadership, preserve the Nashāmā of our security and military forces, and keep this homeland impervious to all terrorism, sedition, and tampering.

Summarized Fatawaa

Does the clipping of nails nullify ablution?

No, it does not, and it is preferable to wash the hands afterwards.

What are the valid excuses for abstaining from congregational prayer in the mosque?

 
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
Concessions (Rukhsah) are granted to abstain from congregational prayer in the mosque due to general excuses, such as: rain that causes hardship in going out, strong winds at night, heavy mud that cannot be traversed without the risk of soiling oneself, hot winds, and extreme heat or cold. There are also specific individual excuses, such as: illness that makes walking as difficult as walking in the rain, severe drowsiness, evident hunger or thirst, the suppression of bodily wastes (urine, stool, or gas), and fear for one's life, limb, physical faculty, wealth, or honor, among other valid excuses. And Allah the Exalted knows best.

What is the ruling on combining more than one intention in the prayer, such as combining the *sunnah* of wuḍūʾ with the pre-Dhuhr *sunnah*, or combining the *sunnah* of greeting the mosque (*taḥiyyat al-masjid*) with the pre-Dhuhr *sunnah*?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
Combining two intentions in a single act of worship, which some jurists call the “overlapping of acts of worship”, has several cases and precise rules. These can be consulted in the books of legal maxims, such as al-Manthūr fī al-Qawāʿid al-Fiqhiyyah by al-Zarkashī and al-Ashbāh wa’l-Naẓāʾir by al-Suyūṭī. Among the most important of these rules:
First: If all of the acts of worship that one wishes to combine under one intention are obligatory, the intentions do not overlap. An example is combining the intention of the obligatory ʿAṣr prayer with that of the obligatory Dhuhr prayer. The intentions do not overlap in this case.
Second: If the two acts are specified supererogatory prayers (nawāfil muqayyadah) that are aimed at in themselves because of a particular time, occasion, or cause, or if they are an obligatory prayer and a specified supererogatory prayer, the intentions again do not overlap. An example is the Duha prayer, which may not be combined with, for instance, the regular sunnah of Dhuhr.
It is stated in Bushrā al-Karīm: “Whatever is not, in meaning, an absolute voluntary prayer, such as the Duha sunnah… is not subsumed under another. Rather, if he intends something else along with it… the prayer is not validly entered. This is because combining two obligations, two specified supererogatory prayers, or an obligation and a specified supererogatory prayer invalidates the prayer in cases not built upon overlapping, as ritual purification (ṭahārah) is.”
Third: If the two acts are absolute voluntary prayers (nawāfil muṭlaqah), or one of them is, where the texts of the Sharīʿah show that the aim of the voluntary act is to fill the time with worship, then overlapping of intentions is permissible. An example is the obligatory Dhuhr prayer together with the sunnah of greeting the mosque (taḥiyyat al-masjid). And Allah Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling on the ablution of one who cuts his nails, and is it permissible to cut them before the ritual bath for major impurity (janabah)?

Cutting nails does not invalidate ablution, and it is permissible to cut them before the ritual bath for major impurity. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
