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

After our father had passed away, my brother and I stayed with our mother for twenty years and served her to the best of our effort. However, she asked our other brothers (3) to support her financially but they refused to pay her anything. As a result, she gave her share of the inheritance to me and my brother. What is the ruling of Sharia on this?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
It is recommended to give one`s children, males and females, equally. However, your mother is allowed to give one of them more than the others because he/she is needy or more dutiful to her than the others. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.  

Is it permissible for me to name my first son “Kassim” ?

The Prophet(PBUH) prohibited combining his name and his nickname, but using one of them is desirable.

It is impermissible to pay the Zakah for settling the debt of the deceased since Zakah is paid to eligible recipients who are alive. As for the debts of the deceased, they are to be settled from the estate before dividing it amongst the heirs, but if the deceased didn`t leave an estate, then it is desirable for his/her heirs to settle those debts if they can afford them.

Is it permissible for a woman who is in her confinement to fast upon seeing blood signs that are neither black, nor red ?

Brownish, reddish, and yellowish discharges are all considered confinement until there is no colored discharge which marks the end of confinement. Moreover, the aforesaid woman is prohibited from fasting until she attains ritual purity.
