Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 03-05-2021

 

Resolution No. (199), by The Board of Iftaa' Research and Islamic Studies:

"Banning the Circulation of Copies of the Holy Quran in which the Rules of Quranic Recitation are Included" 

Date (14/Sh'abaan/1435AH), corresponding to (12/06/2014AD).

 

 

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.

On the above given date, the Board reviewed the question sent by the Secretary General of the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affaires by proxy whereas it states: "I seek for the permission of your excellency to review my copy of the Holy Quran [Al-Mushaf Al-Moalim/Dar Al-Waseela] and [Al-Wadih Fee At-Tajweed 'Alaa Noskhat Al-Mushaf] in order to clarify the permissibility of circulating them based on the opinion of the respected Iftaa' Board."

 

After long deliberation, the Board stated what follows:

The Holy Quran is Allah's, The Exalted Speech, revealed on the seal of prophets Muhammad (PBUH), gathered in the Holy Quran Book, reported in a successive way and within its pages lie guidance and light for the whole world which entails the Islamic nation to preserve and keep it intact from changes.

After reviewing a copy of [Al-Wadih Fee At-Tajweed 'Alaa Noskhat Al-Mushaf] (Dar As-Salam) in which apparent colorful words added to the holy Quran and the rulings of Quranic recitation are manifested on each single word; thus, we are of the view that publishing and circulating it among people is impermissible because many different copies of the Holy Quran will exist and an addition on the recited verses will take place as a result.

 

As for the other book [Al-Mushaf Al-Moalim/Dar Al-Waseela] in which the rulings of Quranic recitation are manifested through symbols and colors in details, never been used by Quranic scholars neither earlier nor lately, long researches of Quranic recitation are included in the last pages of  it in addition of having some illustrations and drawings;therefore, we are of the view that this copy shouldn't be circulated. Further, the rulings of Quranic recitation should be separated in an independent book in order to avoid the mixture of Allah's Speech with the speech of people indistinctively. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

An Imam stood to offer a fifth Rak`ah in a four-Rak`ah prayer, and he was reminded to sit by those behind him, but he wouldn`t listen. What is the ruling on those who followed his lead knowingly and intentionally?

If the Imam stood to offer a fifth Rak`ah, those praying behind him shouldn`t have approved of that, and the prayer of those who did is considered null and void.

Is it permissible for a woman to wear underwear while performing Umrah?

Yes, it is permissible for a woman to wear underwear while performing Umrah. This is because she should keep her regular clothes that cover all her body while being in a state of Ihram (ritual consecration) for Hajj, or Umrah. However, she should uncover her face and hands, but it is permissible for her to let her head-covering garment drape from her head down over her face when non-Mahram (i.e., marriageable) men pass by her. And Allah Knows Best.

 By slip of the tongue, my son cursed Allah. It is worth pointing that he has concluded his marriage contract recently, but haven`t consummated the marriage. What is the position of Sharia on this? 

All perfect praise be to AllahThe Lord of The Worlds and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions. 
This person must return to the fold of Islam by uttering the two testimonies of faith and making repentance to Allah from all acts that lead to disbelief. Also, he must make a new marriage contract because the old one was dissolved after he had committed this act of disbelief. Moreover, since there is no waiting period for his wife, then she is in state of Talaq ba`en baynona Soghra (Minor irrevocable divorce); consequently, she can get back to him only by a new marriage contract. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best. 

I went to the health center today to take an intramuscular injection of Neurorubin B12. The nurse told me that this type of injection breaks the fast because it nourishes the body. Is this true? I have heard that intramuscular injections do not break the fast, but I was unsure about this type, so I decided not to take the injection.
 
 
 
 
 

Therapeutic injections administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly do not invalidate the fast because they do not enter the digestive tract through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do break the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in effect. The B12 injection is a therapeutic injection and does not break the fast. And Allah Knows Best.
