Date Added : 28-10-2015

 

Resolution No.(105) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

“Ruling on Selling Gold Decorated with Cloves of Beads“    

Date: 26/4/1427 AH, corresponding to 24/5/2006 AD.

 

 

 

Question:

 

What is the ruling of Sharia on traders who weigh gold along with its  decorations  made from bead cloves when selling it to customers and deduct the weight of those beads upon purchasing it from them?

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

The Board is of the view that it is permissible because crafted gold is similar to a commodity. However, it is incumbent upon the trader to tell the customer about the weight of these beads which the gold contains, when selling or buying, or else it will be considered an act of deception, which is forbidden in Sharia. The Prophet (PBUH) said: “He who deceives is not of us." {Muslim}. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on the Friday bath (ghusl al-Jumu'ah)?

The Friday bath is a confirmed Sunnah, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever performs ablution on Friday, it is good for him, and whoever takes a bath, bathing is better." (Reported by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi who said it is a hasan hadith). It is recommended for everyone who wants to attend the Friday prayer, even if they are not from its usual attendees, like a woman or a boy.
If a person is in a state of major impurity (junub) and intends by his bath both lifting the major impurity and the Friday bath, he achieves both. If he intends only one of them, he achieves only what he intended. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling on speaking while relieving oneself?

It is disliked for one relieving himself to speak while doing so, except out of necessity. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling on performing Tarawih in sets of four rak‘ahs with only one Tasleem?

It is not permissible to combine more than two rak‘ahs with a single Tasleem in Tarawih prayer. Whoever does so, their prayer is invalid. Shaykh al-Islam Imam Muhammad al-Ramli (may Allah have mercy on him) stated: "If a person prays four rak‘ahs of the Tarawih prayer with a single Tasleem, it is not valid if they did so intentionally and with knowledge [of the prohibition]. Otherwise, it becomes an 'absolute voluntary prayer' (nafl mutlaq); because it is contrary to what has been prescribed." [Nihayat al-Muhtaj, Vol.2/P.127].

Is Zakat al-Fitr obligatory for an unborn child (fetus)?

Zakat al-Fitr is not obligatory for a fetus. However, if the child is born before sunset on the last day of Ramadan, then Zakat al-Fitr must be given on their behalf.
