Resolution No. (206)(16/2014), by The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Leasing an Endowment for Selling Smoking Supplies"

Date: 30/Zolqidah/1430AH, corresponding to 25/9/2014AD

 

All perfect praise is due 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 twelfth session held on Thursday(30/Zolqidah/1435 A.H)-(25/9/2014 A.D), the letter sent by His Excellency, the Director General of the Awqaf Funds Development Office, with which he has attached a petition submitted by the tenants of the endowed shop No.(554) located in the Nozhah area. They request changing the status of the commercial use of that shop from  selling artifacts and gifts into selling smoking supplies. We hope that Your Grace would take this matter into consideration and provide the Islamic ruling as far as the tenants request is concerned.

After careful study and deliberation, the board determined what follows:

It isn`t permissible to rent a commercial shop for selling smoking supplies because of its harm on people`s health, and since it has been  confirmed by medical researches as a main cause for fatalities worldwide. Almighty Allah, 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-Maie`da/2}.

Therefore, we advise the Awqaf Funds Development Office to avoid such kind of investment and avert every suspicious matter that could reach the money of the Waqf (endowment), which was founded as Sadaqa Jariah (an on going charity) for the sake of Allah since He is good and accepts not but what is good. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

The supplication: "O Allah, we do not ask You to avert the decree, but we ask You for kindness in it." Is this Supplication Halal or Haram?

We are obliged to supplicate Allah, so when supplicating we comply with Allah's Ordainments, and making supplications that are reported in the authentic texts is better. And Allah Knows Best. 

What is the ruling of Sharia on having an injection to stop the menses considering the fact that she is a challenged person?

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.
We recommend visiting a skilled doctor who fears Allah. If he says that there is no harm in having the injection, then it is permissible to use it. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a woman to adorn herself with kohl (eyeliner) and go out wearing it?

Kohl is a form of adornment, and it is forbidden for a woman to display her adornment to anyone other than her husband or a Mahram. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling of Sharia on using IUD (Intrauterine device) temporarily and by mutual agreement of husband and wife?

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.
There is nothing wrong with this if this device is used on temporary basis and by mutual agreement of husband and wife since this issue falls into family planning, which is allowed by Sharia. However, this is provided that the device is inserted by a female doctor and that it doesn`t cause harm to the woman. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
