Resolution No.(31): "Ruling on Drawings Designed by a Talented French Artist, Derived from Verses of the Noble Quran“

Date: 7/11/1413 AH corresponding to 29/4/1993AD.

The Board has received the following question:
What is the ruling of Sharia regarding drawings designed by a talented French artist, derived from verses of the Noble Quran?
Answer: All success is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.
This artist employs verses of the Noble Quran in depicting human beings, animals, and still images of chariots and the like. The Board is of the view that such an act degrades the verses of the Noble Quran, so it is impermissible, and doing so in good faith doesn`t intercede for this artist because he could have followed in the footsteps of the former Muslim calligraphists who expressed their talents through beautiful drawings in which they wrote verses of the Noble Quran with the purpose of dignifying it, rather than making it a means for something else. And Allah, The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on a woman who gets her menstrual period while fasting?

If a woman gets her menstrual period while fasting, her fast (of that day) becomes invalid, and she must make up for the missed days after Ramadan. Allah has granted ease to women in this situation, and she will be rewarded for not fasting because she is following Allah’s command.

Is it permissible for the wife to give the Zakah (obligatory charity) of her money to her poor husband?

Yes, it is permissible for the wife to give from the Zakah of her money to her poor husband. And Allah Knows Best.

If a woman becomes pure from menstruation before the Fajr Adhan in Ramadan, is she required to fast?

If a woman becomes pure (from menstrual period) before the Fajr Adhan, she must fast, as the impediment preventing her from fasting has been removed. The Sharia maxim in this regard states: "When the impediment is removed, the obligation returns."
She should then make the intention to fast before Fajr and perform ghusl (ritual purification) for prayer, whether before or after Fajr.

What is the ruling on one who slept while firmly seated on the ground, regarding nullification of ablution?

The default ruling regarding sleep is that it nullifies ablution. An exception to this is one who slept while firmly seated on the ground; his ablution is not nullified by sleep if he wakes up while still firmly seated on the ground. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
