Resolution No.(134) (14/2009): "Ruling on the Second Sa`y in Hajj-at-Tamattu"

 

Date: 30/12/1430 AH, correspondng to 17/12/2009 AD

 

 

All perfect praise be to Allah. Blessings and peace be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon his family and companions.

The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies reviewed, in its fifth session held on (30/12/1430 A.H)-(17/12/2009 A.D), the question concerning the Islamic ruling on offering  the  second Sa`y, after Tawaaf Al-Ifadaah, by the pilgrims who are performing the Tamattu type of Hajj.

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

In principle, a pilgrim performing the Hajj of Tamattu must assume the Ihraam of Umrah first and perform all its pillars and obligations such as: Tawaaf (circling the Kabbah), Sa`y, shaving hair, or shortening it , then get into  the state of  Tahallul (freedom to take off the Ihraam or leave it). After that, he must assume the Ihraam again for Hajj, and perform all its pillars and obligations such as Tawaaf, Sa`y and else since Hajj and Umrah are two independent acts of worship which can`t make up for each other. Allah, The Exalted, Says in the Holy Quran (What means): “And complete the Hajj or ’Umra in the service of God." {Al-Baqarqh/196}. Therefore, the Sa`y which he offered during Umrah doesn`t compensate for the Sa`y of Hajj since each act of worship must include a Sa`y of its own.

The above is the opinion of the four juristic schools: the Hanafites, the Malikites, the Shafites, and it is the preponderant opinion of the Hanbalites. In the Harams of Mecca and Medinah, Fatwaas are delivered in line with this opinion based on what the Prophet`s companions, who performed the Hajj of Tamattu, did at his time. He (PBUH) said (what means): “Make the intention of assuming Ihraam for Umrah first, and perform all its pillars and obligations, then get out of the state of Ihram. Afterwards, assume the Ihraam again for Hajj and perform all its pillars and obligations. “{Bukhari}. Allah, The Almighty, Said in this regard (What means): “He must make an offering, such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, He should fast three days during the hajj and seven days on his return." {Al-Baqarah/196}.

It is incumbent on every Muslim to follow what has been confirmed in the authentic Sunnah and applied by the Muslim jurists because it is more cautious in performing acts of worship such as Hajj since a Muslim sacrifices the most precious to perform this great act. Therefore, he needs not risk his Hajj and violate the followed opinions of the Muslim jurists. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a woman to inherit the same share as of a man?

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 if his family and companions.                                                                                                                                                                                                 Thorough studies in which woman's right to inherit according to law of distribution of estate indicates that there are more than one case by which women inherit the same as man and sometimes much more, or to shed the lights regarding the right to inherit while men who share the same family line with her don't have the right to inherit because the deceased has closer ties of kinship with her. In addition to four cases whereas woman inherits half share in comparison with man's share although they had the same degree of kinship with the deceased. For further details as regards the latter cases, kindly refer to elaborated jurisprudence books. And Allah Knows Best.

 

 

Should one obey his mother even if she was wrong?

Obeying one`s mother is an obligation in matters that are beneficial to her and so long as she didn't drive her children to commit an act of sin.

I suffer from excessive gas, especially when I pray, and I redo my ablution more than seven times. I have obsessive thoughts about this matter, even though I went to a doctor and was given medication that did not help. What should I do?
 

If the release of gas stops at certain times between prayers, you should wait for that time, perform ablution, and pray. However, if it is continuous, you should perform ablution after the prayer time begins and pray, and the release of gas during the prayer is excused. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

My headcloth is causing me a terrible headache and severe shortsightedness. Is it permissible for me to take it off?

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
If the headcloth Khimar is harmful, it is sufficient to wear the Niqab (face-veil). However, with the passage of time you will get used to the Khimar and these symptoms will go away. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
