Resolution No.(67): "Ruling on Dividing Land in Accordance with Tameem Ad-Dari`s Endowment"

Date: 23/5/1424 AH corresponding to 23/7/2003 AD.

 

The Board received the following question:

How to divide an inherited plot of land {Waqf Tameem Ad-Dari type} amongst eligible heirs, taking into consideration that it is located within the borders of Al-Khalil Municipality. Is it possible to divide it according to Sharia, or the Ottoman Land Code?

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

After deliberation, the Board is of the view that the revenue of the aforementioned plot and the structure on it is to be divided according to Sharia, and not the Ottoman Land Code. This is because it isn`t a miri land stated in the Ottoman Land Code, rather, it is registered as an endowment of Tameem Ad-Dari`s type, located within the borders of Al-Khalil Municipality. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Does smoking break the fast?

Yes, smoking breaks the fast because smoke particles intentionally enter the lungs, which are considered part of the body cavity (jauf).

Must a woman seek her husband's permission to fast a make up fast (qada)?

● If there is ample time to make up for the missed fasts, a woman should seek her husband's permission before fasting.
● However, if the time is running out—such as when only the remaining days of Sha'ban are sufficient to complete the qada—she does not need his permission and must fast, because Allah’s command takes precedence over the husband's consent.

 
What is the ruling on someone who eats or drinks thinking that the sun has set, then realizes that it has not yet set?

Whoever eats or drinks believing that the sun has set, then later discovers that it has not yet set, their fast is invalid, and they must make up that day after Ramadan. It is not permissible to break the fast before confirming sunset—either by seeing it, through personal reasoning, or by relying on the statement of someone trustworthy in their religious commitment.

What should someone do if they fasted for 30 days in their country, then traveled to a place where people are still fasting?

If a person completes 30 days of fasting in their country and then travels to another country where people are still fasting, they should continue fasting with them until they observe Eid. Even if they have already completed 30 days, he/she should abstain from eating and drinking and join the people of that country because he/she has now become part of that community.
