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

I suffer from excessive gas, especially when I pray, and I redo my ablution more than seven times. I have obsessive thoughts about this matter, even though I went to a doctor and was given medication that did not help. What should I do?
 

If the release of gas stops at certain times between prayers, you should wait for that time, perform ablution, and pray. However, if it is continuous, you should perform ablution after the prayer time begins and pray, and the release of gas during the prayer is excused. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Ruling when Husband Utters Divorce Jokingly, or in the State of Intoxication or Anger 

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.
The man who utters divorce while in the state of anger, his divorce doesn`t take place and the same ruling applies to the man who is forced to utter divorce because he is threatened to be killed or one of his organs cut off, in addition to other matters that scholars have mentioned in this regard. However, the man who utters divorce jokingly or while having intentionally drunk alcohol, his divorce takes place. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is usually said upon the slaughtering of the Aqeeqah (the sheep slaughtered on the seventh day from the child`s birth)?

It is desirable to say: "Bismillah Alrahman Alraheem, was`salatu Wa s`salamu Ala Sa`idenah Mohammad, O Allah, this Aqeeqah is from You and to You on behalf of ….."

I married a man and had two children; however, we got separated four years ago. In addition, my husband`s brother, paternal uncle of my children, has been providing for them ever since. In fact, he is an honest, well-behaved man. Is it permissible that we get married although his brother (My ex-husband) is still alive?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of The Worlds. May His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
It is temporarily prohibited for a woman to marry her stepbrother. Therefore, once she receives Talaq Ba`in (Irrevocable divorce), she is allowed to marry her stepbrother, even if his brother (First husband) is still alive. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
