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..

Making false oath indulges its maker in Hell; therefore, he is obliged to repent, ask Allah for forgiveness and make an expiation; feeding 10 poor or providing clothes for them and in case of incapability of doing any of latters he should fast for 3 consecutive days. And Allah Knows Best.

If the menses exceeded 15 days then it is deemed menstruation, and in this case she is obliged to pray and fast and to do what was impermissible for her to do during the latter period. In addition, she is obliged to make an ablution for each obligatory prayer after it's due time and making sure that impuity is removed.
