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

What is the ruling on the prayer of one who said "Subḥāna Rabbiya al-ʿAẓīm" in prostration (*sujūd*) and forgot to correct it?

 

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
Saying “Subḥāna Rabbiya al-ʿAẓīm” in bowing (rukūʿ) and “Subḥāna Rabbiya al-Aʿlā” in prostration (sujūd) is one of the hayʾāt (non-essential sunnahs) of the prayer. Whoever omits it, whether deliberately or by forgetfulness, or replaces it with another remembrance (dhikr), his prayer is valid and he does not perform sujūd al-sahw. Shaykh al-Islām Imam al-Nawawī (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “Our school holds that one does not prostrate for omitting the audible or silent recitation, the tasbīḥ, and the rest of the hayʾāt.” [al-Majmūʿ, Vol.4/p.127]
If he performs sujūd al-sahw for something that does not call for it, his prayer is invalidated, because he introduced a prostration of forgetfulness without a cause, and he must repeat the prayer. The exception is one who did so out of forgetfulness or ignorance, whether because he recently entered Islam or because he lives far from scholars; he is excused and his prayer is not invalidated.
It is stated in Mughni al-Muḥtāj (Vol.1/p.417): “It is stated in al-Anwār: If he does something that does not call for sujūd al-sahw, thinking that it does, and then prostrates, his prayer is not invalidated if he is ignorant because he recently entered Islam or because he is far from scholars.”
Since this issue is hidden from the laity, as it is among the subtleties of knowledge, and the laity are excused for ignorance of whatever is of such a nature, and their act of obedience is not invalidated because of it, it may be said that the prayer of one who has not acquired knowledge of the issue is not invalidated. As for after knowing it, the prayer is invalidated.
Whoever realizes while still in the prayer that his prostration was out of place, it is sunnah for him to perform sujūd al-sahw. And Allah Almighty knows best.

Is it permissible to sacrifice imported livestock (Such as Romanian, Australian, etc.)?

 

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
As long as the sheep meets the prescribed Sharia age and is free from disqualifying defects, it is valid for sacrifice regardless of its country of origin. Therefore, it is permissible to offer sacrifices from various sources, such as: Romanian, Australian, Spanish, Indian, Sudanese, local (Baladi) livestock, and others. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

 
What is the ruling on someone who eats or drinks while uncertain about the arrival of dawn, then later finds out that dawn had not yet broken?

If a person does this, their fast remains valid, as it is confirmed that they ate during the night. Similarly, if someone eats while uncertain and remains unsure whether they ate before or after dawn, their fast is still valid. This is based on the maxim of Sharia Law, which states: "Certainty is not removed by doubt." Certainty, here, is the presence of night, and the doubt concerns the arrival of dawn. Therefore, one relies on certainty and disregards doubt.

When is Istikharah (guidance prayer) Du`a offered, before Tasleem (saying asalamu alikum warahmatu allah wa barakatuh to end the prayer), or after it?

It is offered after Tasleem.
