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.

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.
