Date Added : 05-10-2015

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.

Summarized Fatawaa

What should I do in order to wake up for Fajr (dawn) prayer?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                What should I do in order to wake up for Fajr (dawn) prayer? Answer: Some of the acts that aid in offering Fajr prayer are: 1- Going to bed early. 2-  Willingness to wake up. 3- Reciting Al-Korsi verse from Chapter Al-Baqarah. 4- Taking refuge in Allah from the cursed devil, and making ablution immediatley after being awake, but it is preferable to ask someone to help in this regard to perform the Fajr prayer. And Allah Knows Best.

How should a person who is afflicted with continued major ritual impurity (incontinence of urine, bleeding outside the monthly period) perform ablution?

Such a person should make ablution for every prayer after its due time and after removing impurities from their body and outfit, and should place a fresh diaper whenever needed so as for the impurity not to spread out. They should also perform prayer immediately even if incontinence of urine continued, and should repeat the aforementioned for every obligatory prayer, then perform optional prayer as much as they want.

When the soul leaves the body, does it hear and see? And where does the soul go?

The important thing is that the soul departs while its owner is a believing, repentant Muslim, as this is a good ending. As for the details, they are lengthy. The grave is either a garden from the gardens of Paradise or a pit from the pits of Hellfire. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Should one who doesn`t perform prayer out of laziness make it up later, and how should he/she do so?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                              He/she is obliged to make up missed prayers by offering with each obligatory prayer another one, and if he/she offers two, then it is better. And Allah Knows Best.
