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

A Christian woman wants to marry a Muslim man through an unregistered marriage contract and for a specific period because of certain circumstances. She is an adult and wants to know the correct procedure so as not to make any mistakes. What is the correct thing to do in this regard?

All perfect 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.
Every marriage should be conducted through court in order to preserve the rights of the spouses and avoid any accusations. In fact, a person shouldn`t be ashamed of what is lawful. Rather, he/she should overcome those circumstances and start in the correct way. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What should a mensurating woman, or in state of confinement do if she became ritually pure during the daytime of Ramadhan ?

If she became pure during the daytime of Ramadhaan, is desirable to complete her fasting during that day, and to make up for it along with other missed days due to menstruation. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a financially capable woman to pay the Zakat to her sons or one of them?

It is permissible for a mother to give her children from zakat if they are eligible to receive it, even though she is obligated to provide for them. This is based on the saying of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) regarding Zainab, the wife of Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them): "Your husband and your children are more deserving of your charity" [Al-Bukhari]. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

Some people eat raw lamb live. Is this permissible or not?

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.
There is no harm in eating raw lamb liver since this is permissible according to Sharia. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
