Resolution No.(113): “The Suit Filed against the Muslim Journalist who has Republished Cartoons Mocking the Prophet (PBUH)“

Date: 23/7/1427 AH, corresponding to 17/8/2006 AD.

 

 

The Board received the following question:

What`s the ruling of Sharia on the suit filed against the journalist Jihaad Al-Momani at Amman Sharia Court/ Cases Court before the judge Salah Shewayaat for the purpose of proving the apostasy of that journalist on charges of republishing the mocking cartoons of the Prophet (PBUH) at Sheehan weekly newspaper, when he was its editor in chief. This is in addition to his writing an article included in the same issue of that newspaper, where he criticized the violent response of Muslims to those images. The article is entitled: “Muslims of the world be patient! “

Answer: All success is due to Allah

The Board believes that since the above case is at bar, it is difficult to give an opinion in this regard without considering the details necessary for delivering a Sharia ruling. On the other hand, the Board has no right to summon someone for a hearing, because no request was made for obtaining a Fatwa from the Fatwa Board to that end. Therefore, the Board is of the view that the Sharia Court has the right of guardianship in the above case and that its rulings are subject to the oversight of the Sharia Court of Appeal. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is wearing a cap permissible for boys, or girls?

All Perfect Praise is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

In principle, anything is permissible sol long as there is no Sharia evidence prohibiting it, thus wearing the cap by boys is permissible as long as it isn`t done in imitation of the disbelievers.

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 lawful for a Muslim woman to look at the body of another Muslim woman except what is between the navel and the knees.  In addition, it is lawful to look at the whole body for treatment; however, having thick hair isn`t considered an illness. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

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.
According to Sharia, a woman`s clothing shouldn`t be attractive so as to prevent sedition. However, it is better for a woman to be on the safe side and avoid such clothes. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
