Resolution  No.(160) (26/2010) by The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

                "Ruling on Selling a Car to the One who Pays for it from a Usurious Loan"

Date: (17/1/1432A.H); (23/12/2010 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 ninth session held on Thursday (17/1/1432A.H)-(23/12/2010 A.D), the following question:

I own an automobile exhibition, and some of my customers   buy their  cars through a commercial bank, so they make a copy of the car`s license and check  report. When the bank approves to buy the car for the customer, it sends me a promise to pay letter once the notice of abandonment is done and the car is mortgaged  to the bank. Later, I pay a visit to the bank and collect the exact price of the car as had been agreed. What is the ruling of Sharia on this transaction ?

After careful study and deliberation,  the Board decided the following:

Such transaction is prohibited in Sharia since it helps in committing what is prohibited. Allah Has Forbidden helping each other in  sin and rancor, whereas He, The Almighty Said (What means): “Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancour: fear Allah. for Allah is strict in punishment.” {Al-Ma`ida/2}.

In Sahih Muslim (1598), Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: “The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) cursed the one who accepts Ar-Riba (the usury) and the one who pays it. And the one who records it, and the two persons who stand witness to it. He added (All of them are equally sinful).” {Muslim}. And Allah Knows Best.

Tayammum is permissible so long as the above excuse lasts. And Allah Knows Best.

Making false oath indulges its maker in Hell; therefore, he is obliged to repent, ask Allah for forgiveness and make an expiation; feeding 10 poor or providing clothes for them and in case of incapability of doing any of latters he should fast for 3 consecutive days. And Allah Knows Best. 

Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the Quran from the computer without actually touching the Quran?

It is not permissible for a woman in her menstrual period, or in postpartum to recite the Quran, even by heart, or without actually touching the Quran itself. Recitation itself is what is prohibited on her regardless of how it is done. However, it is permissible for her to surf through the Quran by her eyes, or to recall it in her head without uttering the words. There is no harm for her to look at the Quranic verses on the computer without touching it, or to utter the words as this is called looking not reciting or reading.
