Date Added : 28-10-2015

 

Resolution No(83) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

“ Ruling on the Zakat of Orphans` Funds Run by the Orphans` Fund Development Foundation “

Date: 20/2/1426 AH, corresponding to 31/3/2005 AD.

 

 

 

Question:

What is the ruling on the Zakat due on orphans` funds run by the Orphans` Fund Development Foundation, to be given to the poor and needy through the Zakat Fund?

 

Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah.

After  the Board deliberated this issue, considered the opinions of Muslim jurists, and reviewed the code followed by the Orphans` Fund Development Foundation, which doesn`t grant the power to pay Zakat from the orphans` funds, it deemed that the Zakat Fund can`t ask the Foundation to pay that Zakat. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on exchanging kisses and hugs between husband and wife during the day in Ramadan?

Praise be to Allah The Lord of The Worlds.

It is disliked to kiss one`s wife during the day in Ramadan, and it is recommended to avoid that. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

In life insurance with the Potash Company, enrollment is mandatory, and employees have the right to receive a cash amount from the insurance for surgeries and illnesses while employed by the company. Is the amount given by the insurance in this case permissible (Halal) or prohibited (Haram)?
 

Since the insurance is compulsory, then what the insurance company pays in return for medical treatment is similar to donation, and I pray to Allah The Almighty that this is lawful even if this service is deducted from your salary in return of it, so in this manner you take back some of the amount you paid in form of above treatment. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the semi-circular structure attached to the Holy Kabah?

The semi-circular structure attached to the Holy Kabah is Hijr Al-Kabah (is a low wall originally part of the Kabah) and passing behind it is an obligation while making Tawaf because it is a part of the Holy Kabah. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the authenticity of the supplication: "O Allah, bring it upon us with blessings and faith, safety and Islam, and success in what You love and are pleased with. My Lord and your Lord is Allah"?
 

On the authority of Talhah Ibn Ubayd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that the Prophet (PBUH) would say when he saw the crescent moon: "O Allah, let this moon appear over us with blessings and faith, safety and Islam. My Lord and your Lord is Allah."
This was narrated by Tirmidhi (Hadith no. 3451), who said: "It is a Hasan (good) Hadith."
And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
