Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

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

I want to buy a house by having a loan from a bank?

If taking a loan from usrious banks it is impermissible; on the other hand, if this took place through Islamic ones then it is permissible to get the loan, since Allah the Most Exalted Said (What means): "And Allah has made buying lawful and forbidden usury (riba)." And Allah Knows Best.

 

 

 

I`m infatuated with a man, is it permissible for me to make supplication that he falls in love with me and becomes my husband?

Islam has honored women by being proposed to by men, and not the other way around, so it is inappropriate for a woman to propose to a man since one who hastens in asking for a thing prematurely shall be punished by deprivation. In fact, such a phenomenon is the result of unlawful mixing between the two sexes.

What is the ruling on combining prayers at the Musala (Place for prayer) of a shopping center because of heavy rain, knowing that some people come from outside that center?

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

If there is hardship in going back to that Musala at the time of Asr or Isha` prayers, then it is permissible to combine prayers in twos only (Duhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha`). Kindly consider calling us. And Allah Knows Best.

Should one obey his mother even if she was wrong?

Obeying one`s mother is an obligation in matters that are beneficial to her and so long as she didn't drive her children to commit an act of sin.
