Resolution No.(29): "Ruling of Sharia on the UN General Assembly`s Convention on Consent to Marriage “

Date Added : 28-10-2015

Resolution No.(29): “Ruling of Sharia on the UN General Assembly`s Convention on Consent to Marriage“

Date: 7/9/1412 AH corresponding to 11/3/1993 AD.

 

The Board has received the following question:

What is the ruling of Islamic Sharia on the UN General Assembly`s Convention on Consent to Marriage?

Answer: All success is due to Allah, The Almighty.

The Board is of the view that the convention relies in its preamble on that which violates the provisions of Islamic Sharia as well as the consensus of Muslim scholars for it states that: “Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and found a family.“

 

Still, it is axiomatic that Islamic Sharia forbids the marriage of a Muslim woman from a non-Muslim, and considers such marriage invalid.

In addition, the above provision is in violation of the provisions of the Jordanian Constitution, particularly articles (2,103,105), which stipulate implementing the rules of Islamic Sharia as regards personal status issues such as marriage and the rulings pertaining to it.

The UN General Assembly`s provision also violates the effective Jordanian Civil Status law, particularly article (33).

As a result, the Board unanimously agrees on disapproving this convention, and doesn`t recommend entering into it or approving of it since the H.K.J is distinguished with its wise Hashemite leadership. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a woman whose menses exceeded (15) days to pray, fast and do what was prohibited on her to do during the latter period?

If the menses exceeded 15 days then it is deemed menstruation, and in this case she is obliged to pray and fast and to do what was impermissible for her to do during the latter period. In addition, she is obliged to make an ablution for each obligatory prayer after it's due time and making sure that impuity is removed. Finally, your menstruation period is over (Questioner) simlar to your menstruation in the previos month.

I made a vow "If the Israeli troops retreated out of Gaza strip I will buy a cake from a certain bakery" and it happened. Am I obliged to buy from the same bakery?

You are obliged to buy from the same bakery. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on loudly sending prayers on the Prophet (PBUH ) after the call for prayer Athaan?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                            Sending prayers on the Prophet after Athaan is a Sunnah for the Mou`zen (caller for prayer ) and the hearer. However, there is no harm in doing it loudly after the end of Athaan, but sometimes, it shouldn`t so that people wouldn`t think that it is an integral part of the Athaan. And Allah Knows Best.

I see horrible dreams although I perform the prescribed prayers, what do you make of that?

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.

Be mindful of Allah while awake and he will safeguard you from whatever evil you see while asleep. We advise you to make the pre-sleep supplications. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
