Date Added : 19-11-2015

Resolution No.(191)(11/2013) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Over Denouncement of the Israeli Attempts To Divide Al-Aqsa Holy Mosque"

Date: the 2nd of Muharram , 1435 A.H, corresponding to the 6th of November , 2013 A.D.

 

 All perfect praise is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions:

The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies discussed, in its tenth session held on the above given date, the Israeli aggression against Al-Aqsa Mosque; consequently, it has issued the following statement :

 Allah ,The Exalted ,Has Honored Al-Aqsa Mosque with a special status in the hearts of all Muslims, emanating from the essence of their belief  as it is the first of the two Kiblahs (Al-Aqsa Mosque and The Sacred Mosque of Makkah), the second of the two holy mosques (The sacred mosques of Makkah and Medina), the third of the Haraams as well as the place from where the Messenger (PBUH) embarked on his nocturnal journey (Al-Israa`wal Mi`raaj). Al-Aqsa Mosque is a sacred destination that the hearts of Muslims long to, and where their  rewards  are multiplied. The Messenger (PBUH) said: “You should not undertake a special journey to visit any place other than the three mosques: the Sacred Mosque of Makkah, this Mosque of mine and Al-Aqsa Mosque (of Jerusalem )." {Agreed upon}.

We, members of The Jordan Iftaa` Board, who are privileged with a wise Hashemite leadership that spares no effort in restoring and defending Al-Aqsa Mosque based on a deeply-rooted Islamic conviction that tightly bonds all Muslims, stress our dismissal of the Israeli acts of escalation which are intended to provoke the feelings of  Muslims as well as divide and judaize  the Mosque. Allah, The Exalted, Said (What means): “And who does greater evil than he who bars God's places of worship, so that His Name be not invoked in them, and strives to ruin them?; such men might never enter them, save in fear; for them in this world is degradation; and in the Hereafter a mighty chastisement." {Al-Baqarah/114}. 

We highly appreciate the steadfastness of our Palestinian brothers  and commend their heroic defense of Jerusalem and the holy places. We beseech Allah to grant them victory and keep them strong. In this era, it is the duty of  Muslims: people, leaderships, governments or thinkers to defend Al-Aqsa against different threats and offences.

 We sincerely pray that Allah pardons our sins , achieves our aspirations , grants us victory  and helps us retrieve our holy places; that is surely no difficult matter for Allah. And all perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The World.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on sacrificing a hornless sheep?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
It is valid to sacrifice a hornless sheep (al-Jamma’ or al-Jalha’). Similarly, a sheep with a broken horn is also acceptable; it does not affect the validity of the sacrifice even if the break causes bleeding, unless the injury is so severe that it leads to the spoilage of the meat. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling of Islamic Law on kissing while fasting?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
It is prohibitively disliked (makrūh taḥrīman) for a husband to engage in foreplay with or kiss his wife during the daylight hours of Ramaḍān if doing so stirs his desire. If pre-seminal fluid (madhī) is released as a result, the fast is not invalidated; however, if seminal fluid (manī) is released, the fast is broken.
Imām al-Khaṭīb al-Sharbīnī, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated: "It is prohibitively disliked to kiss — whether on the mouth or elsewhere — for one whose desire is stirred, whether man or woman, to the extent that he fears it may lead to intercourse or ejaculation. Embracing, touching, and similar acts without a barrier carry the same ruling as kissing in this regard, because such acts expose the act of worship to being corrupted — and as the two Ṣaḥīḥs record: 'Whoever circles around a protected boundary is liable to fall into it.'"
He further added: "It is preferable for one whose desire is not stirred — even if he is a young man — to refrain from such acts as well, so as to close the door entirely. For he may believe his desire has not been aroused when in fact it has. Moreover, it is Sunnah for the fasting person to abstain from all desires without exception." — Summarised with minor adaptation from [Mughnī al-Muḥtāj]. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

Does smoking break the fast?

Yes, smoking breaks the fast because smoke particles intentionally enter the lungs, which are considered part of the body cavity (jauf).

Can an Udhiyah be made up if its time is missed?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
If the sacrificial animal (udhiyah) is a voluntary (nafl) offering and its prescribed time is missed after the three days of Tashriq have ended, then it is not to be made up as a sacrifice; rather, it becomes merely a sheep for meat.
 
However, if it was a vowed (nadhr) sacrifice and its time is missed, then it must still be slaughtered, and the slaughtered animal is to be treated as it would have been during its prescribed lawful time. And Allah Almighty knows best.
