Date Added : 02-11-2015

 

Resolution No.(151), (16/2010) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Donating Kidneys"

Date: 2/9/1431 AH, corresponding to 12/8/2010 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 ninth session held on the above given date, the Board reviewed the following question:

I`m inflicted with kidney failure, so I undergo renal dialysis thrice a week. I have tried so hard to find a cure to this illness but failed. In fact, I have only one son and he offered to donate his kidney, but I refused in fear for his life. However, a doer of charitable actions heard about my problem and expressed his willingness to save my life by donating me his own kidney?

Answer:

After prolonged deliberations, the Board decided what follows:

The Board reconfirms its earlier resolution No.(10/2008), 29/11/1429 AH, corresponding to 21/11/2008 AD, which stipulates that kidney donation in this case is impermissible because it violates the provisions of Islamic Sharia. This is in addition to the fact that there are other options, such as renal dialysis and a donor from the patient`s kin. Moreover, the Jordanian Law bans donating kidneys to non-relatives. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a woman to swear a false oath by the Holy Quran to please her distrustful husband?

It is forbidden for a person to do so since this is considered a false oath (Yamaan Ghamoos) which dips (Yaghmos) its taker in Hellfire if he/she doesn`t seek repentance, and he/she has to expiate for that oath. You should avoid any doubtful acts so that your husband`s chest remains clear from the evil suggestions of the devil.

When does the time of Isha' prayer end?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It ends at the emergence of true Fajr (Fajr Al-Sadiq ), and when the second Athaan of Fajr starts.And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on someone who prays Fajr late, after sunrise, knowing that they wake up on time but return to sleep and do not perform it within its time?

It is obligatory to perform the prayer within its prescribed time. If someone wakes up and knows how to act, they must perform it before the time ends. If they delay it, they are sinful and must make it up. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on reciting verses from the Qur'an over water, drinking it, and using it to break magic spells, heal illnesses, or burn jinn?
 
 
 
 
 

There is no harm on reciting verses of the Holy Qur'an over water and use it for cure. And Allah Knows Best.
