Resolution No.(73): “Deducting a Percentage from Vouchers' Value Given to Drivers for Collecting them on their Behalf“

Date: 17/2/1425 AH corresponding to 7/4/2004 AD.

 

The Board received the following question:

What is the ruling when (Aqaba Voucher Encashment Agencies for Freight Drivers) collect the sums of vouchers given to freight drivers from the (Jordan United Transport) with deducting (5%) against the effort they exert in doing that?
Answer: All success is due to Allah.
The Board is of the view that it is impermissible for the above agencies to take a percentage of the collected sums (in accordance with the manner stated above) because this transaction is parallel to usurious loaning and bill discounting. However, it is permissible for the above agencies to charge a fixed sum, not related to any percentage from the amounts due to owners or drivers of trucks, against collecting these amounts on their behalf, whether these amounts are big or small since both entail the same effort. Moreover, it is permissible for these agencies to pay the owners and drivers of these trucks the amounts due to them as a good will loan, to be collected later. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible to have sexual intercourse with pregnant wife? 

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
There is no sin in having sex with one`s pregnant wife as long as there is no medical condition preventing her from that. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

During a flight from Amman to the UAE, while we were flying over Saudi Arabia, the captain announced that it was time to break our fast, coinciding with the exact time of sunset. After I had broken my fast with my first date, the captain apologized for the earlier announcement and clarified that the correct time would be in 20 minutes. Am I required to continue fasting on that day?

Whosoever break his fast at teh very first announcement to make up the missed day of Ramadan, since Allah, The Most Exalted, Said (What means): "then complete your fast Till the night appears" [Al-Baqara/187]. And Allah Knows Best.

Is the prayer of a woman who is led by an Imam via T.V. permissible?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Amongst the conditions for the validity of prayer is that both the Imam and those led by him must be in the same place. Thus, the prayer of the person who is being led by a televised Imam is invalid unless he/she was with him in the same mosque. And Allah Knows Best.

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.
