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

Which hour coincides with the last third of the night?

This hour could be figured out by calculating the number of night hours which start at sunset, and end at dawn break, then the total is divided on three to get the result.

Generally speaking, I`m dutiful to my mother and opt for obeying her. However, she chose a certain girl to be my future wife, but I`m not pleased with her choice although that girl comes from a good family and enjoys good character. Should I obey my mother or choose another girl that lives up to my expectations?

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

One must obey their parents in whatever is in compliance with the teachings of Sharia and within one`s capacity. However, you aren`t to blame for not marrying that girl, but it is better that you tell your mother about that and it is preferable that you perform Istikharah prayer. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it obligatory for a wife who has been abandoned for many years to observe the waiting period (iddah) after her husband passes away?

If her husband passes away, the wife is required to observe the waiting period (Iddah), even if he had abandoned her, because she is his wife and inherits from him, so she must observe the iddah after his death. And Allah Knows Best.

If someone bought a car from an interest-based bank and then sold it to another person, does the second person bear any sin if they use the car's price to pay the installments owed to the bank?

When the buyer purchased the car, it became their property, and the price became their responsibility. The bank acts as the seller's agent for receiving the payment. Therefore, there is no sin on the second buyer, God willing, as long as the bank does not impose an increase in the amount if a payment is delayed. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
