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 to fast on behalf of the dead who died owing missed fast to make up?

His relative should fast on his behalf, and it is permissible for the guardians to give permission to non-relatives of the dead to fast on his behalf as well. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the expiation for breaking fast due to being on a journey, or being sick, or being in a state of menstruation?

No expiation is due on the aforesaid categories, but they are obliged to make up for the missed fast. However, if any of them failed to do so while being able to, and the next Ramadhaan has come, then making up for those days is incumbent on him/her , and paying the ransom as well. And Allah Knows Best.

I went to the health center today to take an intramuscular injection of Neurorubin B12. The nurse told me that this type of injection breaks the fast because it nourishes the body. Is this true? I have heard that intramuscular injections do not break the fast, but I was unsure about this type, so I decided not to take the injection.
 
 
 
 
 

Therapeutic injections administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly do not invalidate the fast because they do not enter the digestive tract through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do break the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in effect. The B12 injection is a therapeutic injection and does not break the fast. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Is it permissible for a guardian (Big brother) to unlawfully stop his sister from getting married?

If the guardian denies her right in getting married for an unlawful reason, she should go to court in order to settle that matter, and the guardian is considered sinful in this case.
