Resolution No.(56): “Ruling on Reducing the Profits Due on the Purchaser (In Islamic Murabaha) Against His Settling of Payments Ahead of their Due Time, or Vice Versa“

Date: 22/9/1422 AH corresponding to 7/11/2001 AD.

 

The Board recieved the following question:

What is the ruling of Islamic Sharia on reducing the profits due on the purchaser for the Orphans` Fund Development Foundation against paying them ahead of time, or increasing them in case of delay?

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

Reducing the profits due on the purchaser (in case he settled all the payments due on him before the due time of the last one) isn`t permissible because the transaction/sale had been settled and the price of the commodity became due on him; therefore, it is impermissible to reduce any percentage of the profit in return for settling all the payments before the due date of the last one.

Similarly, the Board is of the view that it is impermissible to add any percentage to the profits due on purchasers (in Murabaha) against their procrastination in settling payments as this is considered a usurious interest.

The Foundation may-in case of extreme insolvency- defer the payments due on these purchasers as it deems suitable, and without adding any percentage to the profit due on them for Allah Says in the Noble Quran {what means}: “If the debtor is in a difficulty, grant him time Till it is easy for him to repay. But if ye remit it by way of charity, that is best for you if ye only knew. “ {Al-Baqarah/280}. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

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.  

Is the prayer of someone who didn`t face Quibla (Ka`ba direction) valid?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                              Facing the Quibla is a condition for the validity of prayer, and the prayer of the person who hadn`t faced the direction of the Quibla is invalid, and he is obliged to repeat it. And Allah Knows Best.

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.

I am a woman, and my natural menstrual cycle lasts six days. In the evening, I perform the testimony (Tashahhud) for myself, and then I engage in sexual intercourse with my husband. After intercourse, I experience bleeding, either immediately or the next day. Is my intercourse with my husband during this time forbidden?
 

It seems that your menstrual cycle lasts seven days, not six. Therefore, you should wait until the bleeding stops, then perform ghusl and pray. And Allah Knows Best.
