Resolution No.(37): “Ruling on Murabaha Transactions with a Lower Percentage than that Certified by the Orphans` Fund Development Foundation“

Date: 29/2/1417 corresponding to 15/7/1996 AD.

 

The Board has received the following question:

What is the ruling of Sharia as regards the request of the above Foundation`s employees, who demand approving a percentage of Murabaha which is lower than that certified by the Foundation in its Murabaha contracts?

Answer:

All success is due to Allah.

The Board has decided the following:

In principle, the most beneficial for an orphan as regards his property should be sought. The law has granted the ”Orphans` Fund Development Foundation” the right of custody and management of orphans` property in a manner that fulfills their best interest. However, since it is impermissible for a guardian to donate an orphan`s property because it does him/her much harm, and since the highlighted issue is clarifying the Sharia ruling on a lower percentage of Murabaha, which isn`t beneficial to the orphans , and  contradicts what the Quran mentioned in this regard: “ but consume it not wastefully “ {An-Nissa`/6}; therefore, carrying out Murabaha transactions with the employees of the above Foundation for a percentage lower than the certified one isn`t in the best interest of the orphans, and so such an act is impermissible in Sharia for Allah Says in this regard (What means): “They ask thee concerning orphans. Say: "The best thing to do is what is for their good. “ {Al-Baqarah/220}. He also Says (What means): “And come not nigh to the orphan’s property, except to improve it. “ {Al-An`naam/152}. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the Quran from the computer without actually touching the Quran?

It is not permissible for a woman in her menstrual period, or in postpartum to recite the Quran, even by heart, or without actually touching the Quran itself. Recitation itself is what is prohibited on her regardless of how it is done. However, it is permissible for her to surf through the Quran by her eyes, or to recall it in her head without uttering the words. There is no harm for her to look at the Quranic verses on the computer without touching it, or to utter the words as this is called looking not reciting or reading.

Does touching women temporarily forbidden in marriage nullify ablution?

It is prohibited to touch, or to shake hands with such women as they are considered strangers, and doing so nullifies ablution.

What is the ruling of Sharia on a Muslim woman who committed Zina with a Christian and became pregnant as a result?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
Abortion is forbidden in Islam as it entails taking the life of a soul unjustly. Rather, it is one of the major sins; however, it is permissible only when there is well-established danger on the mother`s life; in which situation scholars gave priority to her life over that of the foetus, since this is, according to Sharia: "The lesser of two evils". In case a Muslim woman committed Zina (Adultery) with a Christian and got pregnant, if this did happen, then this question should be presented to the Iftaa` Committee with the presence of the questioner herself. She could also ask a reliable scholar face to face or via phone. If she gives birth to the baby, then he/she is a Muslim and takes the name of his mother; not the name of the man who was a reason for its conception. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a woman who is in her confinement to fast upon seeing blood signs that are neither black, nor red ?

Brownish, reddish, and yellowish discharges are all considered confinement until there is no colored discharge which marks the end of confinement. Moreover, the aforesaid woman is prohibited from fasting until she attains ritual purity. And Allah Knows Best.
