Date Added : 05-10-2015

Resolution  No.(203) (13/2014), by The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

 "Ruling on Giving the Imam and the Mo`azin a Bonus from the Revenue of an Endowment (2014)"

Date: (25/Shawal/1435 A.H); corresponding to (21/8/2014 A.D)

 

All praise is due to Allah, peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon his family and companions:

The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies reviewed, in its tenth session held on Thursday (25/Shawal/1435 A.H)-(21/8/2014 A.D), the formal letter of His Eminence, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Religious Endowments, and it reads as follows:

Would Your Grace clarify the Sharee`ah ruling on the permissibility of paying a monthly bonus to the Imam and the Mo`azin of Al-Bahir Mosque from the revenue of the stores located under it ?

After careful study and deliberation, the Board decided what follows:

There is no harm in paying a bonus to both from the revenue of this

blessed endowment (Waqf) in line with the condition made by the Waqif (Founder of the Waqf) mentioned in the enclosed document of the Waqf: “The revenue of this building is to be completely spent in favor of Al-Bahir`s mosque, and at the disposal of the committee in charge of it.”

In other words, the mosque`s committee enjoys the authority of determining the channels of disbursement that it believes to be in the best interest of the mosque. Accordingly, it is Islamicaly and rationally acceptable for the committee to regard paying the bonus as an apparent interest of the mosque`s since it encourages both of them to exert all their efforts in serving the prayer performers and delivering the message of the mosque honestly and sincerely through making use of being devoted and self-sufficient. Nevertheless, it is imperative that coordination is established with the Ministry of Religious Endowments in order to obtain the special permit since it enjoys the general guardianship over all the Awqaf (Endowments), and in order for this matter to be done in line with the blessings of the officials in charge and with complete honesty, Allah willing. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible to offer mandatory prayer while sitting?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Standing up is a pillar in the mandatory prayer and the prayer is not valid without it unless one cannot do it. As for Nafila (supererogatory prayer), one can perform it in the state of sitting even if he/she can stand, but his/her reward is half the reward of the person who prays while standing if he/sh has no legal excuse for such an act. And Allah Knows Best.

I became ill while fasting and had to take an intramuscular injection twice on two consecutive days during Ramadan. I continued my fast as usual, as I was told that intramuscular injections do not break the fast. Please advise me so that I can know the correct ruling.
 
 
 
 
 

Subcutaneous and intramuscular therapeutic injections are not considered as invalidators of fasting because they do not enter the stomach through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do invalidate the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in purpose. Therefore, your fast is valid. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

I want to buy a house by having a loan from a bank?

If taking a loan from usrious banks it is impermissible; on the other hand, if this took place through Islamic ones then it is permissible to get the loan, since Allah the Most Exalted Said (What means): "And Allah has made buying lawful and forbidden usury (riba)." And Allah Knows Best.

 

 

 

If a woman makes a vow to slaughter a sheep, and her husband is the one who buys it for her from his own money, and he says: "It is for you until you fulfill your vow with it," Is this permissible, or must she buy it herself from her own money?

If her husband gave her the sheep as a donation for the puprose of fulfilling the oath she made and was slaughtered by the wife or the husband on her behalf then the vow she made is fulfilled. And Allah Knows Best.
