Resolution No. (194) (2/2014) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies

Date: (7/ Rabia 1st./ 1435 AH)  corresponding to(9/1/2014  AD)

 Prohibiting the  removal of the uteri of challenged girls, and society`s responsibility towards them

 

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, Prophet  Muhammad and  upon  all his family and companions:

The Iftaa` Board, in its 11th session held on Thursday (7 /Rabia1st./ 1435AH) corresponding to  (9/1/2014AD), reviewed  the issue of Sharia ruling on removing  the uteri of mentally challenged girls  under the pretext that such procedure relieves them from health problems and maintains  their personal hygiene. Therefore, the Board has considered  the views of  specialized educators and physicians, and consequently realized the negative effects of such operations. After careful review  and deliberation, it decided the following:

It is only  permissible to remove an organ of Allah`s ,The Almighty`s, creation  in cases that are treated with such procedure. As regards mentally and physically challenged girls, the Board sees no excuse allowing such operations which involve interfering with Allah`s creation, surgical risks,  and negative effects which facilitate abuse and harm  to those girls.

It is incumbent upon the parents and guardians  to take care of their challenged daughters   and keep them out of harm’s way. Societies are also responsible for  protecting  them against all kinds of exploitation and enacting laws necessary to ensure that  end since it is their right to be taken care of, so that the sin of those in charge of them is not multiplied once these girls are being abused. This requires all members of society to exercise patience with such  group  of people and seek reward from Allah for facilitating their life for the Prophet(PBUH) said in this regard: “Everyone of you is a guardian, and responsible for what is in his custody..”{Al-Bukhari and Muslim}.And Allah knows best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a woman to wear colored lenses?

All Perfect Praise is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

Wearing colored lenses for treatment is permissible, and wearing them as an adornment is also permissible, provided that she isn`t seen while having them on by non-Mahrams (Marriageable men). And Alalh Knows Best.

Is committing Zina (Adultery and extramarital sex) without the intention of getting pregnant or deflowered considered full Zina?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
 
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) says: "The eyes commit fornication, the hands, the feet, and the private parts." [Musnad Ahmad, P.3912]. Sheikh Shu`aib `Arn`oot graded this Hadith as sound. What you are asking about is far graver. Generally speaking,  sincere repentance erases sins, good deeds erase bad deeds, and fearing Allah stops one from committing this heinous act. In addition, the devil is man`s worst enemy and whoever surrenders themselves to the wolf will be eaten. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a woman to pluck her eyebrows, or to shave them and have a tattoo in their place?

It is forbidden for a woman to pluck her eyebrows, or to shave them and have a tattoo in their place since this is called (Nums), and the Prophet (PBUH) has cursed those who do it.

What is the ruling on taking a loan from an interest-based bank (a usurious bank) to buy an apartment for housing, noting that I am renting at a high amount relative to my income, and I am an employee? Also, considering that the conditions of Islamic banks are strict, and I cannot obtain the full amount from them, is it permissible to take a loan to purchase an apartment or not? May Allah reward you.

 

 

 

 

 

Usury (interest) is prohibited by Islamic law, and the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who pays it, its recorder, and its witnesses. Whoever leaves something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate them with something better and greater, and Allah will provide relief after hardship. Needing a place to live does not permit taking a loan with interest. And Allah Knows Best.
