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 girl to wear colored contact lenses?

All Perfect Praise is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

Wearing colored contact lenses for medical treatment is permissible, and wearing them as an adornment is also permissible, provided that she isn`t seen while having them on by non-Mahrams. And Alalh Knows Best.

What is the best charity to offer on behalf of the deceased? Is it giving food, reciting Quran, giving money or supplicating? What is the best charity to offer on behalf of dead father and dead husband? What is the best continuous charity to offer on behalf of the deceased?

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. The deceased benefits from every righteous deed offered on his/her behalf, be that continuous charity, reciting Quran or a pious son praying for him/her. However, the best righteous deed is performing Haj and Omrah on their behalf especially if he/she hadn`t performed that ritual for it remains a debt on them. The evidence on this is that Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and said: "Messenger of Allah, my mother has died (in a state) that she had to observe fasts of a month (of Ramadan). Should I complete (them) on her behalf? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Would you not pay the debt if your mother had died (without paying it)? He said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The debt of Allah deserves more that it should be paid."{Related by Muslim}. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling on going out wearing a long loose skirt with a long shirt that are neither tight nor revealing and without wearing any makeup?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
This is permissible as long as it doesn`t attract the attention and isn`t considered adornment, and this varies according to the environment in which you live. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

I made a vow "If the Israeli troops retreated out of Gaza strip I will buy a cake from a certain bakery" and it happened. Am I obliged to buy from the same bakery?

You are obliged to buy from the same bakery. And Allah Knows Best.
