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

 By slip of the tongue, my son cursed Allah. It is worth pointing that he has concluded his marriage contract recently, but haven`t consummated the marriage. What is the position of Sharia on this? 

All perfect praise be to AllahThe Lord of The Worlds and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions. 
This person must return to the fold of Islam by uttering the two testimonies of faith and making repentance to Allah from all acts that lead to disbelief. Also, he must make a new marriage contract because the old one was dissolved after he had committed this act of disbelief. Moreover, since there is no waiting period for his wife, then she is in state of Talaq ba`en baynona Soghra (Minor irrevocable divorce); consequently, she can get back to him only by a new marriage contract. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best. 

Am I permitted to perform more than one prayer within single ablution?

You are permitted to pray as many as you could within one ablution and to recite Quran so long as your ablution isn't nullified.

 If a disposable water bottle has the logo (Al-Aziz Water Shop) ,is it allowed to throw it away considering that (Al-Aziz) is one of Allah`s beautiful names?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
You can remove some of the letters so that the word isn`t read as (Al-Aziz). And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
