Date Added : 24-11-2015

 

Resolution No.(195)(4/2014) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

 "Over the Denouncement of the Israeli Attempts to End the Jordanian Custodianship over Al-Aqsa Holy Mosque"

Date: 17/Rabee` Ath-thani/1435 AH, corresponding to 17/2/2014.

 

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His Blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah and His family and Companions.


 On its third session held on the afore-given date, the Board reviewed the dangers facing Al-Aqsa Mosque. Accordingly, it has issued the following statement:

 

  Allah ,The Exalted ,Has Privileged Al-Aqsa mosque with a special place in the hearts of all Muslims emanating from the basis of their belief since it (Al-Aqsa mosque) is the first of the two Qiblahs (Al-Aqsa mosque and The Sacred Mosque of Makkah), the second of the two holy mosques (The sacred mosques of Makkah and Medina) ,and 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 place that attracts the hearts of all Muslims and praying there entails receiving multiple rewards from Almighty Allah. 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 Iftaa` Board of Jordan, the country which is privileged by a wise Hashemite leadership that spares no effort in restoring and defending Al-Aqsa mosque out of a deeply-rooted belief that tightly bonds all Muslims, stress our rejection to all provocative acts undertaken by the oppressive Israeli enemy against Muslims with the aim of dividing and Judaizing  the Mosque as well as threatening to end the Jordanian custodianship over it . 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 ask Allah to grant them victory and keep them strong.   

It is the religious duty of all Muslims today: people, leaderships, governments, and intellectuals to protect Al-Aqsa Mosque against different threats and violations. We confirm that custody over the Mosque is the right of all Muslims represented by the Hashemite leadership by virtue of its historical heritage and the stewardship agreement it had signed with the Palestinian Authority, not the Israeli occupation authorities whose actions are totally denied in this regard. It is not permissible in Sharia to squander the custodianship over these holy sites or to give up on them.

 

   We beseech Allah to Pardon our sins, fulfill our aspirations and favor us with victory, and that is surely no difficult matter for Allah. And all perfect Praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on ablution without istinja' after sleep?

The sleep of one whose buttocks are not firmly seated on the ground invalidates ablution. Whoever wakes up and wants to pray must perform ablution only. Istinja' is not a condition for the validity of ablution, because it is for removing impurity from the private part. If there is no impurity on the private part, then istinja' is neither obligatory nor recommended. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What do you say about someone who stays up all night on Laylat al-Qadr but misses Fajr prayer?

Such a person has deprived themselves of a great reward. Performing obligatory acts is more beloved to Allah than voluntary acts. Fajr prayer is an obligation, and performing it in congregation is equivalent to worshiping for the entire night. So how can someone neglect it while striving for voluntary prayers?!

I have a date farm, and the dates come in different categories, and within each category there are different sizes. How is zakāh paid on the yield?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
If the yield reaches the niṣāb (the minimum threshold for zakāh to become obligatory) — which is five awsuq (plural of wasq), equivalent to (611) kg — then zakāh becomes obligatory upon it, at a rate of one-tenth ('ushr) if irrigated by rainwater (i.e., naturally, without the use of machinery), or one-twentieth (half of the 'ushr) if irrigated using machinery/equipment.
If the yield of dates consists of different varieties, then zakāh should be paid from each variety according to its respective proportion. If this proves difficult, it is permissible to pay from a medium-quality variety [representative of the average].
It is stated in Ḥāshiyatā Qulyūbī wa ‘Umayrah (Vol.2/P.22): "Different varieties are combined together [for the purpose of calculating the niṣāb] — such as the various types of dates, the various types of raisins, and so on — and zakāh is paid from each type according to its respective proportion. However, if this becomes difficult due to the large number of varieties and the small quantity of each individual type, then zakāh should be paid from a medium-quality variety among them — neither the best nor the worst — out of consideration for both sides [the giver and the poor recipient]. If one goes to the trouble of paying from each variety according to its proportion, this is also permissible." And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.

Is my husband entitled to take my salary?

Your salary is yours, and you may give some of it to him as a kind of free-will contribution.
