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 are the Sharia consequences when the sacrificial time for the uḍḥiyyah comes to an end?

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
In the Name of Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
If the sun sets on the final day of Tashriq (the 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah) and the Udhiyah (sacrificial animal) has not yet been slaughtered, its designated time has expired. Should a person slaughter it after this point, it will not be counted as an Udhiyah.
 
However, if the sacrifice was a vowed one (Mandhurah), they are strictly obligated to slaughter it as a makeup act (Qada’), and its meat must be distributed entirely according to the rules governing vowed sacrifices.
 
It is stated in Bushra al-Karim (p. 702): "If one slaughters after sunset on the final day [of Tashriq]... it does not count as an Udhiyah, unless it was a vowed sacrifice, in which case it is fulfilled as a makeup act (Qada’)." And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.

A woman made a wig for herself from her own [previously shed] hair, which she wears on her head after having lost her hair [due to hair loss]. Is this permissible?

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
Since the hair belongs to the woman herself, the wig can be removed during the obligatory ghusl (ritual bathing), and part of the head can still be wiped during wuḍū' (ablution), there is no sharī‘ah objection to making this wig — provided she does not appear wearing it in front of non-maḥram men (Any males outside a woman's immediate family whom she is permitted to marry under Islamic law), since it is not permissible for them to look at a woman's detached hair.
It is stated in Rawḍat aṭ-Ṭālibīn wa ‘Umdat al-Muftīn: "Whatever it is not permissible to look at while still attached [to the body] — such as the male genitalia, a free woman's forearm, the hair of her head, and a man's pubic hair, and similar matters — it remains unlawful to look at even after it has been detached [from the body], according to the more correct position (al-aṣaḥḥ)." And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.

Zakah due on a woman`s jewelry?

Obligatory Zakah (obligatory charity) isn`t due on a woman`s jewelry used for adornment, provided that the value of each piece is within the range amongst common market price. And Allah Knows Best.

I read the Qudsī ḥadīth: "Whoever breaks his wuḍūʾ and does not perform ablution has shown me harshness; whoever performs ablution and does not pray has shown me harshness; whoever prays and does not supplicate to Me has shown me harshness; and whoever supplicates to Me and I do not answer him, then I have been harsh to him, and I am not a harsh Lord." What is the authenticity of this ḥadīth?

 

 

All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
This ḥadīth was mentioned by al-Ṣaghānī (may Allah have mercy on him) in al-Mawḍūʿāt (p. 43), where he said: “Among them is their saying: ‘Whoever breaks his wuḍūʾ and does not perform ablution has shown me harshness; whoever performs ablution and does not pray has shown me harshness; (whoever prays and does not supplicate to Me has shown me harshness); and whoever supplicates to Me and I do not answer him, then I have been harsh to him, and I am not a harsh Lord.’”
Al-ʿAjlūnī (may Allah have mercy on him) cited what al-Ṣaghānī said in Kashf al-Khafāʾ (Vol.2/p.264). And Allah Almighty knows best.
