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

I took a housing loan from the bank for a 20-year period. Four years have passed, and I recently learned that this loan is usurious. I wish to perform Umrah. Am I permitted to perform it? If not, what should I do?

You are permitted to perform Umrah. Strive to repay the debt in hopes of reducing the amount of usurious interest. Allah Says (What means): "And there are others who have acknowledged their sins. They had mixed a righteous deed with another that was bad. Perhaps Allah will turn to them in forgiveness. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." [At-Tawbah/102]. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

In life insurance with the Potash Company, enrollment is mandatory, and employees have the right to receive a cash amount from the insurance for surgeries and illnesses while employed by the company. Is the amount given by the insurance in this case permissible (Halal) or prohibited (Haram)?
 

Since the insurance is compulsory, then what the insurance company pays in return for medical treatment is similar to donation, and I pray to Allah The Almighty that this is lawful even if this service is deducted from your salary in return of it, so in this manner you take back some of the amount you paid in form of above treatment. And Allah Knows Best.

My husband wanted to sell a piece of land that was his own, but his father insisted that he transfer the land in his (the father’s) name so that he could sell it at a higher price. Then, my husband and his father would split the price. After my father-in-law sold the land, he denied everything and refused to acknowledge my husband’s right. My father-in-law passed away a year ago, and my husband’s brothers divided the inheritance, refusing to acknowledge that this land was a trust held by their father for my husband until it was sold. Are they sinful for knowingly denying that the land belongs to my husband, and what is the ruling on praying against them?
 
 
 
 
 

All perfect praise be to Alalh, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.
Among the rights of the deceased upon their heirs are: preparing them for burial at death, settling their debts, returning people’s rights to them, executing their will, and then dividing their estate. What was mentioned in the question falls under the rights of others, even if they are among the heirs, and the deceased is not absolved of it unless it is returned to its rightful owners. This is because Allah, Almighty, forbids consuming others' wealth/properties unjustly. However, do not give up on seeking a solution by involving righteous and well - respected individuals who may have influence over them, in the hope that Allah guides them to goodness and correctness. As for supplicating against them, the prayer of the oppressed is not rejected, even if the oppressed person is not a Muslim. And Allah knows best.
 
 
 
 
 

I`m a building contractor. I have been building a house for a client, but the construction process stopped for some reason. Unfortunately, currently, prices of materials have multiplied, is it allowed for me to demand an increase in the agreed price?

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.
It is more appropriate to approach the client and try to reach a mutually satisfactory solution. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
