Resolution No.(115): “Sharia Ruling on Leasing a Place as a Cinema“

Date: 4/9/1427AH, corresponding to  27/9/2006AD

 

 The board received the following question:

What is the ruling of Sharia on leasing an area in a trading block as a cinema?

Answer: All success is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds

The Board is of the view that it is impermissible to do so because it is more likely that the movies which will be shown would contain that which violates the rulings of Islamic Sharia, even if that cinema helps in making the block`s business a success. This is because the end doesn`t justify the means, and as the end should be lawful, so should the means, but the latter isn`t because it (cinema) would show movies that promote vice and lead to mixing between the two sexes. Every act that leads to the illegal is by itself illegal as well. Allah The Almighty Says {What means}: ”O ye who believe! Give of the good things that ye have (honourably) earned, and of the fruits of the earth, which We have produced for you, and do not even aim at getting anything which is bad, in order that out of it ye may give away something, when ye yourselves would not receive it except with closed eyes. And know that God is Free of all wants, and worthy of all praise.“ {Al-Baqarah/267}. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “Allah The Almighty Is Good and Accepts only that which is good. In addition, verily Allah Has Commanded the believers to do that which He has commanded the Messengers. So the Almighty Has Said (What means): “O (you) Messengers! Eat of the tayyibat [all kinds of halal (legal) foods], and perform righteous deeds.” [23:51] and the Almighty, Has Said (What means): “O you who believe! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you.” [2:172]. Then he (PBUH) mentioned [the case] of a man who, having journeyed far, is disheveled and dusty, and who spreads out his hands to the sky saying “O Lord! O Lord,” while his food is haram (unlawful), his drink is haram, his clothing is haram, and he has been nourished with haram, so how can [his supplication] be answered? [Muslim].

And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Does the fast become invalid if water from rinsing the mouth reaches the stomach while performing ablution?

If water reaches the stomach without the fasting person exceeding normal rinsing or being excessive, their fast remains valid.
However, if they exceed the normal practice or exaggerate in rinsing, causing water to enter the stomach, their fast is invalid.
This is because excessiveness in rinsing is prohibited for a fasting person, as the Prophetﷺ said: "Exaggerate inhaling water during ablution, except when you are fasting." [Narrated by the Four Imams]
Transgression (Ta‘addi) refers to rinsing the mouth more than three times, while exaggeration (Mubalaghah) includes gargling, drawing water deep into the nasal passages, or filling the mouth with water in an unusual manner.

Is the father a Mahram (Non-marriageable) to his son`s mother-in-law?

The father is a non-Mahram (Marriageable) to his son`s mother-in-law, so it is impermissible for them to look at each other, or to have a seclusion (Khalwah).

Does using a wet miswak while fasting break the fast?

A fasting person should ensure that the miswak is dry when using it.
However, if the miswak is slightly moist but does not release any liquid when squeezed, then its use does not break the fast.

What is the ruling on someone who dies while having missed fasts?

● If a person dies before having the opportunity to make up the missed fasts—such as someone whose excuse (e.g., illness) persisted until their death—then no makeup fast (qada), fidyah, or sin applies to them.
● However, if they had the ability to make up the fasts but did not do so before passing away, the missed fasts must be compensated by giving a mudd of food for each missed day from their estate.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever dies while having a month’s fast due, one needy person should be fed per day on their behalf." [Narrated by At-Tirmidhi]
Additionally, a guardian (wali) may fast on their behalf, as the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever dies while having missed fasts, their guardian should fast on their behalf." [Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
In another narration: "If they wish." This indicates that both feeding the needy and fasting on behalf of the deceased are permissible options.
