Resolution No.(168): "Ruling when Members of Voluntary Administrative Bodies Make use of the Free Offers Made to these Bo"

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

Should one who doesn`t perform prayer out of laziness make it up later, and how should he/she do so?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                              He/she is obliged to make up missed prayers by offering with each obligatory prayer another one, and if he/she offers two, then it is better. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a Christian man to embrace Islam in secret and is it permissible for a Muslim woman to marry him?

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.
His embracing Islam in secret is between him and Allah; however, it isn`t permissible for a Muslim woman to marry him except after he declares his Islam and it is ascertained that he is sincere about that. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible to slaughter one animal as a sacrifice and an Aqeeqah (the sheep slaughtered on the seventh day from the child`s birth)?

It is impermissible to do so since each of them is slaughtered for a different reason.

 Should a person who doesn’t offer Tasbeehb (saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-‘Atheem during Rukoo`, and saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-A‘laa during Sujood) during Rukoo` and Sujood perform As-Sahw Sujood (prostration of forgetfulness)?

He/ she doesn`t have to perform Sujood As-Sahw, whether he/she didn`t offer Tasbeeh during Rukoo` and Sujood either intentionally ,or unintentionally, provided that the attentiveness of the heart wasn`t undermined since it is a pillar in both.
