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

My Husband Works as a Diver and most of His Client are non-Muslims. Is his work permissible or not?

There is no harm on his job. And Allah Knows Best.

Is the marriage, which lacks a valid legal contract, a guardian, and a court registration, valid?

It is incumbent that a valid marriage contract be concluded in the presence of a guardian and two trustful witnesses, and it should be registered in the court to protect the rights of the wife. Actually, a valid marriage contract is what differentiates between sound marriage and fornication.

I`m infatuated with a man, is it permissible for me to make supplication that he falls in love with me and becomes my husband?

Islam has honored women by being proposed to by men, and not the other way around, so it is inappropriate for a woman to propose to a man since one who hastens in asking for a thing prematurely shall be punished by deprivation. In fact, such a phenomenon is the result of unlawful mixing between the two sexes.

What should a person who doubted having missed a pillar of prayer do?

All praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                                              The prayer of one who doubts having missed one of its pillars is valid, and nothing is due on him/her since having a doubt after offering the act of worship doesn`t undermine its validity. And Allah Knows Best.
