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 for a menstruating woman to recite the Quran from the computer without actually touching the Quran?

It is not permissible for a woman in her menstrual period, or in postpartum to recite the Quran, even by heart, or without actually touching the Quran itself. Recitation itself is what is prohibited on her regardless of how it is done. However, it is permissible for her to surf through the Quran by her eyes, or to recall it in her head without uttering the words. There is no harm for her to look at the Quranic verses on the computer without touching it, or to utter the words as this is called looking not reciting or reading.

Is it permissible for a mother to stop her daughter from marrying a respectable, God-fearing young man because he isn't college/university graduate?

It is impermissible to deny a woman her right in getting married except for a lawful reason, and problems can be solved through dialogue. However, she can file a suit in order for the judge to have a say in that regard.

Does touching women temporarily forbidden in marriage nullify ablution?

It is prohibited to touch, or to shake hands with such women as they are considered strangers, and doing so nullifies ablution.

Is it permissible to fast the six days of Shawwal before making up for the missed fasts of Ramadan?

● If a person missed fasts due to a valid excuse, they may fast the six days of Shawwal before making up for Ramadan fasts, because qada (makeup fasts) in this case can be delayed, while the six days of Shawwal must be observed within Shawwal.
● However, if a person missed fasts without a valid excuse, they must make up for the missed fasts immediately after Eid, before fasting the six days of Shawwal. If they fast the six days first, it is valid, but they must still make up for the missed Ramadan fasts afterward.
It is also permissible to combine the intention of qada (makeup fasts) and the six days of Shawwal in one fast. However, it is better to fast them separately, as this increases the reward and avoids scholarly disagreement regarding combining intentions.
