Date Added : 02-11-2015

 

Resolution No.(86) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

“Ruling on the Revenue Obtained from Investing  Al-Husseini Mosque`s Lavatory“

Date: 26/2/1426 AH, corresponding to 6/4/2005 AD.

 

 

 

Question: What is the ruling of Sharia on the revenue obtained from investing Al-Husseini Mosque`s lavatory; should it be given to the Awqaf Funds Development Foundation, or spent on the mosque`s maintenance, needs and various projects?

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

The Board is of the view that the objective of the Awqaf Funds Development Foundation is to develop the Awqaf {endowments} funds as stipulated in the Awqaf`s law, and not to take their revenues, even if it had made the investment, because the yield must be spent in accordance with the terms of the endowers and the nature of the endowment itself. Therefore, the Board deems that the revenue obtained from investing the above lavatory should be dedicated to Al-Husseini Mosque and to be spent on its maintenance, needs and various projects. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible to pay the expiation of an oath to a charitable party as it feeds the poor and needy such as Tkiyet Um Ali?

There is no harm on authorizing someone to handle the expiation of another to the poor and needy, since Shafiee's jurists stated that authorizing someone for the purpose of distributing Zakah, expiation and vow is permissible as stated in [Mughni Al-Muhtajj,vol.3/pp.237]. At last, the intention of the person who intends to authorize someone else suffices in this regard. And Allah Knows Best.

Is the father a Mahram (Non-marriageable) to his son`s mother-in-law?

The father is a non-Mahram (Marriageable) to his son`s mother-in-law, so it is impermissible for them to look at each other, or to have a seclusion (Khalwah).

A person prays in a certain spot within the rows of the mosque, and gets angry if someone else prayed at his spot. What is the ruling on this behavior?

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                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) make it prohibited for a Muslim from having/taking a certain spot in the mosque when performing prayers if they arrived and find it occupied, furthermore; it is the religious duty on others (praying people) to offer a piece of advice to alert the ones who don't know, that whoever reaches a spot first at the mosque having a priority/privilege upon others in that spot. And Allah Knows Best.

I suffer from excessive gas, especially when I pray, and I redo my ablution more than seven times. I have obsessive thoughts about this matter, even though I went to a doctor and was given medication that did not help. What should I do?
 

If the release of gas stops at certain times between prayers, you should wait for that time, perform ablution, and pray. However, if it is continuous, you should perform ablution after the prayer time begins and pray, and the release of gas during the prayer is excused. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
