"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

What should I do in order to wake up for Fajr (dawn) prayer?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                What should I do in order to wake up for Fajr (dawn) prayer? Answer: Some of the acts that aid in offering Fajr prayer are: 1- Going to bed early. 2-  Willingness to wake up. 3- Reciting Al-Korsi verse from Chapter Al-Baqarah. 4- Taking refuge in Allah from the cursed devil, and making ablution immediatley after being awake, but it is preferable to ask someone to help in this regard to perform the Fajr prayer.

I`m a building contractor. I have been building a house for a client, but the construction process stopped for some reason. Unfortunately, currently, prices of materials have multiplied, is it allowed for me to demand an increase in the agreed price?

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 is more appropriate to approach the client and try to reach a mutually satisfactory solution. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What should a woman, who has given several births during different months of Ramadhaan, and didn`t make up for them in addition to forgetting the exact number of the days and years in which she had missed fasting, do?

She should make up the missed days of Ramadan after estimating their number, and paying the ransom (in food) due on each missed day that she had delayed making up. In addition, she is obliged to repay the ransom according to the number of years if she was able to fast before that time, but didn`t.
