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

Should the father command his ten-year-old daughter to wear the Islamic dress?

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 of his family and companions.

The father should order his daughter to put on the Islamic dress once she turns ten, in order for her to get used to it. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it incumbent on a husband to pay the alimony of his wife if she had left him and stayed at her parent`s without his permission?

When a wife leaves her house, and stays at her parent`s without asking her husband, she is considered a Nashiz (wife who refuses to abide by her husband’s orders), and so she doesn`t deserve an alimony.

What should one who forgot to offer the second Sajda during congregational prayer, and remembered it before the end of the prayer do?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                          Whoever forgets a pillar of prayer while in congregation must follow the lead of the Imam, and after the latter offers Tasleem, he should offer one Rakah, then perform Sujood As-Sahw (prostration of forgetfulness). And Allah Knows Best.

Does bleeding from the body, such as from wounds, invalidate ablution?

Bleeding doesn't invalidate person's ablution. And Allah Knows Best.
