"Resolution No.(6): "Administration and Development of Orphans' Funds

Date: Rajab / 1408 AH, Corresponding to: 23/3/1985 AD

 

 

We received a question:

 

"What is the ruling on paying Zakat from the funds of orphans deposited in the Orphans Fund Development Foundation?"

 

The answer and all success attributed to Allah:

 

The Iftaa` Board has decided the following:

 

1- Zakat is obligatory on the wealth of minors and those in their stead, subject to the conditions of Zakat as prescribed by Islamic law.

 

2- In matters of Islamic rulings, they should be applied to all Muslims according to Islamic principles. It is not permissible to enact a law that selectively applies Islamic rulings to one group of Muslims while exempting others.

 

Therefore, the committee suggests that this issue be addressed within the framework of a comprehensive Zakat law that applies to all Muslims, including companies and institutions. Especially since the Temporary Zakat Fund Law No.3 of 1978, as amended by Temporary Law No.2/82, will soon be presented to the honorable National Assembly, by the permission of Allah. The committee hopes that the esteemed Assembly will prioritize the implementation of Zakat, as one of the pillars of Islam, comprehensively with care and attention.

 

And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

 Should a person who doesn’t offer Tasbeehb (saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-‘Atheem during Rukoo`, and saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-A‘laa during Sujood) during Rukoo` and Sujood perform As-Sahw Sujood (prostration of forgetfulness)?

He/ she doesn`t have to perform Sujood As-Sahw, whether he/she didn`t offer Tasbeeh during Rukoo` and Sujood either intentionally ,or unintentionally, provided that the attentiveness of the heart wasn`t undermined since it is a pillar in both.

What is permissible for the person who wants to ask for a woman`s hand in marriage to see from her body?

He is permitted to see her hands and face only, but if he wants to see more, then he has to send a woman that he trusts to do so.

If someone starts the day sick or traveling while fasting, is it permissible for them to break their fast?

● A sick person who finds fasting difficult is allowed to break their fast, whether they began the day fasting or not.
● As for a traveler:
○ If they were still at home at dawn and then traveled after Fajr (dawn), they must continue fasting unless they experience extreme hardship, in which case they may break their fast.
○ However, if they were already traveling when dawn broke—meaning they had left their town before Fajr—then they are permitted to break their fast. This is what the Prophetﷺ did during the year of the conquest (of Makkah).

How many Rak`ahs (unit of prayer) are offered in Witr prayer?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                  Witr (an odd number prayer performed between Isha`a and Fajr) is offered with a minimum of one Rak`ah, and a maximum of eleven, but offering three Rak`ahs is the minimum of its complete form. And Allah Knows Best.
