Date Added : 17-11-2015

 

Resolution  No.(186) (2/2013) by The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"The Time For Stoning the Jamarat During Hajj"

Date: (26/3/1434 A.H); (7/2/2013 A.D).

 

All praise is due to Allah, peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

On the above date, the Board reviewed the issue pertaining to the time for stoning  the Jamarat during Hajj.

After careful study and deliberation, the Board decided what follows:

There is no harm in stoning Jamrat Al-Aqba on the Day of Slaughter after midnight since the Shafites and the Hanbalites permitted that based on the narration of Asma`a: “During the night of Jam', Asma' got down at Al-Muzdalifa and stood up for (offering) the prayer and offered the prayer for some time and then asked: "O my son! Has the moon set?" I replied in the negative and she again prayed for another period and then asked: "Has the moon set?" I replied: "Yes." So she said that we should set out (for Mina), and we departed and went on till she threw pebbles at the Jamra (Jamrat-al-Aqaba) and then she returned to her dwelling place and offered the morning prayer. I asked her: "O you! I think we have come (to Mina) early in the night." She replied: "O my son! Allah's Apostle gave permission to the women to do so.” {Bukhari}.

The time for stoning the Jamarat on the Days of Tashreeq starts after Zawaal (i.e. the beginning of the time of Thuhr when the sun passes the meridian), based on the opinion of the majority of Muslim scholars. The evidence on this is the narration of Ibn Abbas: “The Messenger of Allah used to throw the Jamarat after the sun declined.”{At-Tirmizi in  a sound narration}. Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) narrated: “We used to wait till the sun declined and then we would do the Rami (i.e. on the 11th and 12th of Dhul-Hijja.” {Bukhari}.

If the pilgrim feared harm and hardship due to crowdedness and the huge number of pilgrims, or was bound by the departure of his Hajj campaign on the Day of An-Nafir (departure from Mina), which is the second of the days of Tashreeq [i.e. 12th of Thul-Hijjah] and the like, then he is permitted to stone the Jamarat before the Zawaal, based on the opinion of Ibn Abbass, Tawoos, Imam Abu-Haneefa, and Al-Rafi-A Shafite scholar- as concluded from the narration of Abdullah Bin Amro Bin Al-Ass: “So on that day, when the Prophet was asked about anything as regards the ceremonies of Hajj performed before or after its due time his reply was: "Do it (now) and there is no harm." {Bukhari&Muslim}.

A pilgrim wishing to take advantage of the above concession should start throwing the Jamarat after dawn, as stipulated by the scholars giving that concession. As regards starting the stoning from midnight of the following day, we found no concession for that in the established opinions of the Muslim scholars. It is imperative that every Muslim abides by the opinions of the four Muslim Jurists to be on the safe side as far as acts of worship are concerned since, nowadays, stoning the Jamarat after the Zawaal is done with ease and at the pilgrims` own convenience. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling of Sharia on unregistered marriage in Jordan?

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.
Aishah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whichever woman married without the permission of her Wali her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If he entered into her, then the Mahr is for her in lieu of what he enjoyed from her private part. If they disagree, then the Sultan is the Wali for one who has no Wali." [At-Tirmithi, Hadith No.1102]. The Prophet (PBUH) also said: "There is no marriage without a guardian and two honorable witnesses." Related in [Al-Mo`jam Al-Basit for At-Tabarani, pp.6366]. Registration of the marriage contract at Islamic court is necessary for the preservation of rights and failing to do so is punishable by Jordanian Law. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best

Am I Permitted to Use Ill-gotten Money given to me from Sorcerer's Sons during during my Mother's condolence?

You are permitted to use this money if you were ascertain that the majority of his lawful money surpasses the unlawful one. And Allah Knows Best.

A woman didn't fufill fasting of the month of Ramadan two years ago, due to pregnancy and breastfeeding, at the time being she is making up the missed Ramadan. What is the ruling of Sharia? And what is due on her? 

Whosoever break the fast during Ramadan or didn't fast at all due to health concerns, is obliged to make up the missed fasts whenever she could so long as making up missed Ramadan didn't extend  to the coming one, and if next one arrived without fulling fasting the missed one, the ransom is 60 grams for each missed day (Equals 60 piasters to one Dinar for each day). And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.  

What is the expiation for breaking fast due to being on a journey, or being sick, or being in a state of menstruation?

No expiation is due on the aforesaid categories, but they are obliged to make up for the missed fast. However, if any of them failed to do so while being able to, and the next Ramadhaan has come, then making up for those days is incumbent on him/her , and paying the ransom as well. And Allah Knows Best.
