Resolution No.(90): “Ruling on the Condition Set by the Endower“

Date Added : 02-11-2015

 

Resolution No.(90) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

“ Ruling on the Condition Set by the Endower “

Date: 20/6/1426 AH, corresponding to 27/7/2005 AD.

 

 

 

Question: 

What is the ruling of Sharia on registering a charitable endowment document of lands No.(279-51) for building a mosque and its annexes over the basement which contains stores and warehouses established on the above lands . This is provided that the ownership of these stores and warehouses remains to the endower`s offspring- if there is any- his wife, or wives-if there is any- then to the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Sites,  as a charitable endowment for the sakes of Allah?

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

The Board is of the view that the above mentioned is permissible, and the condition of the endower is permissible as well since it is as binding as the provisions of Sharia, and since it brings benefit to the endowment itself. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

If a traveler settles or a sick person recovers while fasting, is it permissible for them to break their fast?

● If a sick person starts the day fasting and then recovers during the day, they must complete their fast.
● If a traveler starts the day fasting and then settles (returns or stops traveling) during the day, they must also complete their fast.
● It is forbidden for both of them to break their fast because the concession (rukhsah) is no longer valid once its reason disappears.

Is it valid to perform the obligatory prayer while sitting?

 

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
Standing (Al-Qiyam) while having the ability to do so is one of the pillars (Arkan) of the prayer; the obligatory (Faridah) prayer is not valid without it. However, whoever is unable to stand may pray sitting down. As for voluntary (Nafilah) prayers, it is permissible to pray them sitting even if one is able to stand, but the one sitting receives half the reward of the one who prays standing. And Allah the Exalted knows best.

Does the clipping of nails nullify ablution?

No, it does not, and it is preferable to wash the hands afterwards.

Is it permissible for a suitor to go out with his fiancé upon the conclusion of the marriage contract?

Upon the conclusion of the marriage contract, the woman becomes lawful for her husband. However, the customary practice should be observed in this regard since rights could be lost in case of divorce, or death.
