Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Resolution No. (199): "Banning the Circulation of Copies of the Holy Quran in which the Rules of Quranic Recitation are Included"

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

Which is more excellent for a woman: to pray in the mosque or in her house?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
Our Master the Prophet ﷺ said: 'It is more excellent for a woman to pray in her house than in her courtyard, and more excellent for her to pray in her private chamber than in her house.' Therefore, a woman’s adherence to her home and her refraining from going to the mosques—in obedience to the command of Allah the Exalted—attains a great reward and abundant recompense. Furthermore, women praying in congregation within their homes is better than their attendance at the mosques, based on the aforementioned Hadith. And Allah the Exalted knows best.

Does the 'aqīqah count as valid if it is slaughtered before the seventh day from the birth?

 

 
 
 
 
 

All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
The time during which it becomes permissible to slaughter the 'aqīqah begins from the moment the newborn is fully delivered from its mother's womb.
If the animal is slaughtered prior to the birth, it does not count as an 'aqīqah — it is simply considered an ordinary sheep slaughtered for its meat.
And Allah Almighty knows best.

Is it correct that everything dry is pure even if it has impurity on it?

If something impure becomes dry, it remains impure and is not purified by drying. However, the impurity does not transfer by touching it if the one touching it is also dry. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling on kidney dialysis while fasting in Ramadan?

Kidney dialysis breaks the fast because the dialysis fluid is nutritive, as confirmed by medical experts. Additionally, it involves the entry of substances into the body cavity (jauf).
A patient undergoing dialysis must make up for that day after Ramadan. If they are unable to do so, they must pay fidyah by feeding one needy person for each day they missed.
