Resolution No.(157): "Ruling on Supervising the Construction of Dwellings Funded by Non-Islamic Banks"

Date Added : 02-11-2015

Resolution No.(157)(23/2010) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Supervising the Construction of Dwellings Funded by Non-Islamic Banks"

Date: 17/1/1432 AH, corresponding to 23/12/2010 AD.

 

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

During its twelfth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the following question: 

I have an engineering office where I receive people who wish to construct buildings. They fall into two categories:

First: Those who have obtained usurious loans to construct a building and seek my supervisory services.

Two: Those who ask me to provide them with a construction plan and a cost the intended buildings to submit them to one of the non-Islamic banks to receive a usurious loan.

After prolonged deliberations, the Board decided what follows:

It is permissible for you to supervise the dwellings of the first category since it doesn`t involve any kind of usury as you charge a wage in return for your work.

As regards the second category, it is impermissible for you to supervise their buildings because doing so helps in committing usury. Allah Said in this regard (what means): "Help ye one another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancour: fear Allah. for Allah is strict in punishment." {Al-Ma`idah/2}. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is Zakah due on the orphan`s money?

Yes, Zakah is due on the money of the orphan.

Is it permissible to offer prayer at home, or should it be offered in the mosque?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                                      It isn`t preferable for the man to pray at home as praying in the mosque is twenty seven times more rewarding. Therefore, this should motivate him to offer prayers in the mosque. And Allah Knows Best.

If the fasting of nine years has accumulated upon me, I wish to make them up by dividing them over several years, as it is difficult to fast them all in one year due to their large number. Consequently, expiation will be due on me. Is it permissible to pay the expiation after completing all the make-up fasts, even if it takes years?
 
 
 
 
 

If the fasting was broken due to a valid legal excuse, it is permissible to divide the make-up fasts over several years based on one’s ability. However, if a person passes away before completing the make-up fasts, the heirs must fast on their behalf or feed one needy person for each missed day.
If the fasting was broken without a valid excuse, one must hasten to make it up. Should the person die before completing the make-up fasts, the heirs must either fast or feed the needy on their behalf. As for the expiation, it is calculated after completing all the make-up fasts. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

Is it permissible to abort a less than one-month-old fetus?

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.
Abortion is forbidden; therefore, it isn`t allowed except if endangers the life of the mother and such thing should be confirmed by god- fearing, specialized, trustworthy medical doctors. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
