Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 21-12-2015

Resolution No.(217)(7/2015) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Irrigating with Treated Waste Water"

Date: 24/ Zolhijjah/1436 AH, corresponding to 8/10/2015 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.

On the above given date, the Board reviewed the question sent by his Excellency, the Secretary-General of the Water Authority, Mr. Habashneh, and it reads as follows:

I would like to attract your attention to the fact that waste water treatment plants produce water in accordance with the latest international techniques that meet international and local standards.

It is important to use this water in line with the Jordanian waste water treatment quality standards, and for different uses; especially, the restricted irrigation, through securing large quantities of clean irrigation water. Would you clarify the opinion of Islamic Sharia on using treated waste water for irrigation?

After researching and deliberating, the Board arrived at the following view:

It is permissible to irrigate with treated waste water and to eat from the fruit of such plantation because the ruling pertaining to the fruit isn`t affected by whether the water is pure or impure. This is indicated by the question directed to Al-Imam An-Nawawi: "If the plantation and the fruit were irrigated with filthy water, or their soil was fertilized with it, is it lawful to eat their product? He replied: yes, it is." {Fatwas of An-Nawawi}.

However, it is imperative to abide by the sanitary regulations stipulated in this regard in order not to pollute the environment, ruin the plantation and the fruits, or cause harm to human beings. Moreover, scientific and medical standards should be observed as well. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a teacher to have one of the school meals originally allocated to students considering that there is plenty of them and they may spoil?

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.
The Ministry of Education has the final say in this regard because it isn`t allowed to take from public funds save with the permission of the body in charge of spending from it. In fact, we have sent a letter to the Ministry concerning this issue and we are waiting for an answer. However, to prevent spoilage of the meals, they can be sold and the price kept in favor of the students or distributed amongst the students themselves. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for the guardian to give Sadaqa (voluntary charity) from the money of the orphans?

It is impermissible for the guardian to donate from the money of the orphans because he is entrusted with the safekeeping of that money, and is prohibited from donating it.

One day, I swore that my wife will be unlawful to me to quit smoking hookah?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
The best course of action is that you turn to Allah for help and quit the hookah. In addition, acquainting yourself with the risks of smoking hookah will help you take this step. And Allah, The Most Exalted Knows Best

I wear braces because I had an accident. However, Iam afraid that I could die and be buried while wearing them because they are permanent installation. Is this forbidden? I also wear false teeth. Should I ask my children to pull them out after I die?

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.
If the braces are worn to get teeth back to normal, then there is no sin in that and there is also no harm in wearing false teeth. Moreover, you don`t have to have them removed after your passing away as this undermines the dignity of the dead. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
