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

Is it a condition that one should offer two sacrifices for a male newborn?

It is desirable to offer two sheep for a male newborn, and one for a female newborn. Offering one sheep for the male newborn is also permissible as it observes the Prophet`s Sunnah in this regard.

Does an internal medical examination for a woman affect her fast?

An internal medical examination for a woman invalidates the fast because it involves the entry of a foreign object into the body cavity (jauf) while fasting.
In this case, the woman must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day out of respect for Ramadan and make up for the missed fast after Ramadan.
Such an examination should be avoided in Ramadan and other months unless absolutely necessary, as exposing the private parts is only permissible in cases of necessity.
If necessary, a woman should seek a Muslim female doctor first. If one is unavailable, she may see a female doctor from the People of the Book (Jews and Christians). If neither is available, she may consult a trustworthy and competent Muslim male doctor.

I`m infatuated with a man, is it permissible for me to make supplication that he falls in love with me and becomes my husband?

Islam has honored women by being proposed to by men, and not the other way around, so it is inappropriate for a woman to propose to a man since one who hastens in asking for a thing prematurely shall be punished by deprivation. In fact, such a phenomenon is the result of unlawful mixing between the two sexes.

Is it permissible to offer mandatory prayer while sitting?

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.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Standing up is a pillar in the mandatory prayer and the prayer is not valid without it unless one cannot do it. As for Nafila (supererogatory prayer), one can perform it in the state of sitting even if he/she can stand, but his/her reward is half the reward of the person who prays while standing if he/sh has no legal excuse for such an act. And Allah Knows Best.
