Resolution No. (210) (23/2014) , by The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Investing Part of the Waqf for its Benefit"

Date: 6/RabieAl-Awwal/1436, corresponding to 28/12/2014.

 

Praise be to Allah; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies reviewed in its fourteenth session, Sunday(6/ Rabie Al-Awwal/1436)=(28/12/2014), the letter of His Excellency, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Endowments, and it reads as follows:

I hereby enclose the certificate of the charitable endowment (Waqf) of  lot No.(135)-(5) from Tla` Al-Ali lands {Waqfia of the schools of the Sheikh of Martyrs, Umar Al-Mokhtar }. Kindly clarify the ruling of Islamic Sharia` in what follows:

1- Investing a part of this endowed lot for the purpose of covering the expenses of the school and the orphan students who dwell in it.

2- Spending from the revenues of this investment on the orphans whose guardians refuse to allow them  stay the night at the school or to cover the expenses of their study.

3- Admitting other students in return for paying the tuition, so as to integrate the orphans with their peers, and secure an additional source of financing to the Waqf.

After careful study and deliberation, the board decided the following:

There is no harm in investing a part of the endowed lot, referred to above, for spending on the school, Muslim-orphan students and  sons of martyrs since the certificate of this endowment has stipulated dedicating it for the welfare of these categories, so the revenues of the invested part are included in this stipulation, and putting this stipulation into effect is adhering to the condition set by the Waqif (endower), and there is no harm in doing so.

However, we recommend adherence to making  Muslim orphans and sons of martyrs a priority, so only a certain number of other students should be allowed into the school i.e. that which fulfills the necessary benefit of the above categories, and provided that other students pay the full fees, and these are to be used in meeting the stipulation of the endower. This way, conditions for the permissibility of  disposing of this Waqf, according to the form mentioned in the above question, are met. And Allah Knows Best..

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on a woman driving a car?

All Perfect Praise is to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessinsg be upn our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and compnions.

It is permissible for the woman to drive a car, but it is impermissible for her to travel unaccompanied by a Mahram (Unmarriageable kin). And Allah The Exalted Knows Best.

I underwent a procedure for a molar pregnancy (hydatidiform mole), and after that, the bleeding continued for more than two months, during which I did not pray. Do I need to make up the missed prayers?

If you have previously experienced postpartum bleeding, the duration of the current bleeding is treated the same as your previous postpartum period. Any bleeding that exceeds this duration must be considered irregular bleeding (istihada), and you must make up the missed prayers. If this is the first time, then any bleeding beyond sixty days is considered irregular bleeding. You must perform ghusl, pray, and make up the prayers for the days beyond the sixty-day limit. And Allah Knows Best.

I became ill while fasting and had to take an intramuscular injection twice on two consecutive days during Ramadan. I continued my fast as usual, as I was told that intramuscular injections do not break the fast. Please advise me so that I can know the correct ruling.
 
 
 
 
 

Subcutaneous and intramuscular therapeutic injections are not considered as invalidators of fasting because they do not enter the stomach through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do invalidate the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in purpose. Therefore, your fast is valid. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

I`m a god-fearing woman. I`m two months pregnant but my husband insists that I have an abortion?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
 
It isn`t permissible for you to abort the fetus unless it endangers the mother`s life. Therefore, try to convince your husband to change his mind and encourage him to pay us a visit. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
