Date Added : 11-10-2015

 

Resolution No.(168)(9/2011) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling  when Members of Voluntary Administrative Bodies Make use of the Free Offers Made to these Bodies"

Date: 25/9/1432 AH, corresponding to 25/8/2011 AD.

 

Praise be to Allah, peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions.

During its twelfth session held on the above given date, the Board reviewed the following question:

We are a nine-teacher committee, five of whom are elected and four are appointed by the Ministry of Education. It is called "The Administrative Body of the Tafilah Teachers` Club."

We offer free voluntary services to the club and the teachers. The club runs an Umrah (Minor Hajj) journey through certain travel agencies and the teachers willing to go should pay the fare.

Is it permissible for a member of the administrative body to take that journey for free? Is it permissible to condition that the travel agency provides two free seats for the administrative body and the staff of the club in return for guiding and supervising that journey?

After prolonged deliberations, the Board decided what follows:

If the administrative body conditioned that the travel agency provides two free seats or more (Travel agencies usually give free seats as a kind of promotion), then that is permissible provided that the fare of those free seats is equally divided amongst those making the Umrah journey and that the members of the above committee don`t take advantage of those seats and exclude the teachers. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is supplicating in Qunoot, at times of affliction, during obligatory and voluntary prayer a Sunnah, and should it be done before Rukoo` (bowing), or after it?

At times of affliction, it is a Sunnah that Muslims supplicate in Qunoot after the final Rukoo` of each obligatory, or voluntary prayer as individuals, or in congregation.

I went to the health center today to take an intramuscular injection of Neurorubin B12. The nurse told me that this type of injection breaks the fast because it nourishes the body. Is this true? I have heard that intramuscular injections do not break the fast, but I was unsure about this type, so I decided not to take the injection.
 
 
 
 
 

Therapeutic injections administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly do not invalidate the fast because they do not enter the digestive tract through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do break the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in effect. The B12 injection is a therapeutic injection and does not break the fast. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

What is the ruling on working for orphans' institution?

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 no sin in working for orphans` institution. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a menopausal woman who has blood discharges to fast?

If she reached the age of menopause, and her menses stopped, but later she saw blood discharges that lasted a complete day and night (24) hours, then it is menstrual blood. Still, if these blood discharges lasted less than a complete day and night (24) hours, then it is not menstrual blood, but it is bleeding outside the monthly period (Istihadah), and it does not prevent her from prayer and fast, but she has to make ablution for every prayer.
