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 should one who forgot to offer the second Sajda during congregational prayer, and remembered it before the end of the prayer do?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                          Whoever forgets a pillar of prayer while in congregation must follow the lead of the Imam, and after the latter offers Tasleem, he should offer one Rakah, then perform Sujood As-Sahw (prostration of forgetfulness). And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling of Sharia on transplanting kidneys bought from another country because there are no donors from amongst the relatives of the patient?

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 forbidden to purchase human organs. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

If the fasting of nine years has accumulated upon me, I wish to make them up by dividing them over several years, as it is difficult to fast them all in one year due to their large number. Consequently, expiation will be due on me. Is it permissible to pay the expiation after completing all the make-up fasts, even if it takes years?
 
 
 
 
 

If the fasting was broken due to a valid legal excuse, it is permissible to divide the make-up fasts over several years based on one’s ability. However, if a person passes away before completing the make-up fasts, the heirs must fast on their behalf or feed one needy person for each missed day.
If the fasting was broken without a valid excuse, one must hasten to make it up. Should the person die before completing the make-up fasts, the heirs must either fast or feed the needy on their behalf. As for the expiation, it is calculated after completing all the make-up fasts. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

Is buying shared land from someone who has taken possession of it considered halal or haram?

The shared land is possessed by the country i.e. for all people; therefore, it shouldn't be possessed/occupied save by it's guardian/owner permission,thusly it can't be possessed save by having owners' permission. Finally, buying it from a person who don't possess it is impermissible. And Allah Knows Best.
