Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 27-10-2015

Resolution No.(141),(6/2010): "Ruling on Investment at the Dead Sea Area"

Date: 7/5/1430AH, corresponding to 24/4/2010AD

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

During its fourth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the questions sent by Jordan Heritage Revival Company regarding the ruling of Sharia on swimming and picknicking at the Dead Sea area as well as investing that area in building hotels that neither serve alcoholic drinks, nor contain any forbidden matters.

After thorough studying and deliberating, the Board decided what follows:

The Board is of the view that it is permissible to invest the Dead Sea area in building hotels so long as these don`t sell any forbidden items such as alcoholic drinks, or pork, and don`t have mixed swimming pools. As regards swimming and pickncking in that area, there is no Sharia approved evidence that forbids doing that, because in principle things are permissible unless forbidden by an established evidence from Sharia: the Noble Quran and the Prophetic Sunnah. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

If the menses lasted for over than 9 to 10 days, considered menstruation?

If the duration of the bleeding does not exceed fifteen days, it is all considered menstruation, even if the usual pattern changes.

What is the ruling of Sharia on having an injection to stop the menses considering the fact that she is a challenged person?

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.
We recommend visiting a skilled doctor who fears Allah. If he says that there is no harm in having the injection, then it is permissible to use it. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible to abort a less than one-month-old fetus?

All perfect 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.
Abortion is forbidden; therefore, it isn`t allowed except if endangers the life of the mother and such thing should be confirmed by god- fearing, specialized, trustworthy medical doctors. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it a condition that the meat of the Eid sacrifice should be distributed in order for the sacrifice to be accepted by Allah?

The poor and needy should be given from that sacrifice , even if it be a small portion,(One kilo for example) as raw meat so that they would cook it the way they want. The remainder of that sacrifice is either distributed, eaten, or offered to people in a banquette .
