Resolution No.(100): “Ruling on Purchasing a Certain Quantity of Diamond from Abroad through The Arab Islamic Bank“

Date Added : 02-11-2015

 

Resolution No.(100) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

 "Ruling on Purchasing a Certain Quantity of Diamond from Abroad through The Arab Islamic Bank“

Date: 14/3/1427 AH, corresponding to 13/4/2006 AD.

 

 

Question:

Does diamond take the same ruling as gold?

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

The Board is of the view that diamond isn`t amongst the prices and doesn`t take the ruling of gold; therefore, it is permissible for the questioner to purchase whatever quantity he likes through the Arab Islamic Bank, provided that he adheres to the Sharia rulings pertaining to Murabaha sale. The most important of these are: The bank should purchase the diamond for itself first. After the diamond becomes in its possession and guarantee, it should sell it to the client/purchaser. This is based on what the Prophet(PBUH) said to Hakim Bin Hizam: “  I bought some food and made food and made a profit on it (by selling it) before I took possession of it. I came to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that and he said: 'Do not sell it until you take possession of it. "'{Ahmad}.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a Muslim physician to specialize in gynecology obstetrics, and what is the ruling on working as such?

Some fields of knowledge are an individual duty while others are a collective one, and specializing in gynecology obstetrics is a collective duty. However, if there were female physicians to treat women, then there is no need for a male gynecology obstetrics specialist to look at women`s Awrahs (private parts) except in necessary situations since the jurisprudential maxim says:” Necessity must only be assessed and answered proportionately.” And Allah Knows Best.

Is abortion permissible when the family isn`t ready to receive a new baby?

Abortion is forbidden unless it constituted a serious threat against the mother`s life based on the opinion of trustful and God fearing physicians.

Should a minor fulfill his vow?

The vow of a minor is countless because he isn`t required to meet the Sharia rulings at such an age, and it is desirable for him to fulfill that vow once he reaches puberty.

Is it permissible to slaughter one animal as a sacrifice and an Aqeeqah (the sheep slaughtered on the seventh day from the child`s birth)?

It is impermissible to do so since each of them is slaughtered for a different reason.
