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

If someone bought a car from an interest-based bank and then sold it to another person, does the second person bear any sin if they use the car's price to pay the installments owed to the bank?

When the buyer purchased the car, it became their property, and the price became their responsibility. The bank acts as the seller's agent for receiving the payment. Therefore, there is no sin on the second buyer, God willing, as long as the bank does not impose an increase in the amount if a payment is delayed. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is meant by "Recalcitrance of the woman toward her husband doesn`t render her divorced"?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
It means that her being recalcitrant (Nashiz) doesn`t make her divorced. Rather, she has to be divorced by husband or Sharia judge to be considered divorced. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is prayer nullified by nose bleed?

 All praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                                           Blood coming out of the nose, or a wound doesn`t nullify prayer regardless of its quantity. And Allah Knows Best.

Does fasting on behalf of a deceased person permissible?

Fasting on belhaf of a deceased person is permissible, since the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Whoever dies while he still has some fasts to make up (of the days of Ramadan), then his heir (any of them) should fast on his behalf." [Agreed upon]. The previous answer is for making up missed obligatory fasts on behalf of the deceased. But if the fasting on behlaf of the deceased was for performing  a voluntary acts of devotion such as fasting....is permissible as adopted by the majority of Muslim scholars and based on the above hadith as they stated "Every good dead intended to be on behalf of the deceased its reward will reach the latter." And Allah Knows Best.
