Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 02-11-2015

 

Resolution No.(181)(13/2012) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Islamic Banks Subscribing in the Jordan Deposit Insurance Corporation"

Date: 4/11/1433 AH, corresponding to 20/9/2012.

 

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 the Director-General of the Jordan Deposit Insurance Corporation (JODIC), which reads as follows: What is the ruling of Islamic Sharia on deposits insurance at  Islamic banks and reviewing the amendment of the Corporation`s draft-law pertaining to that?

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

Deposits at Islamic banks enjoy special characteristics compared to those at non-Islamic banks, because of the difference in the types of accounts.

Therefore, the Board approves of the draft-law which stipulates binding Islamic banks with the insurance of their credit accounts. As regards investment accounts, the annual subscription paid to the Deposit Insurance Corporation should be collected from the holders of these accounts as a deduction against risk. This binds the Corporation to create two independent portfolios at the deposit insurance fund of the Islamic banks, one for the insurance of credit accounts deposits and the other for the investment accounts deposits.

It was made clear to the Board that the amended draft-law rests on values of solidarity and cooperation, and that the amounts paid on this basis are considered donations , and that it (draft-law) aims at protecting people`s funds against risk. In case of liquidation, the capitals of this fund are deposited at the Zakat Fund of the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs and Holy Places.

Accordingly, the Board is of the view that establishing this fund for the insurance of deposits at Islamic banks is permissible, and that the suggested amendments of the draft-law comply with the accredited standards of Islamic Sharia. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on having a second congregational prayer in the mosque?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        It is disliked to have a second congregational prayer in the mosque which isn`t visited by travelers like the neighborhood`s mosque, and which has an appointed Imam, save with the latter`s permission. Nevertheless, if the mosque is visited by travelers, it is permissible to have a second and a third congregational prayer, whether it has an appointed Imam or not, or whether he permits that or not. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling of Sharia on having an injection to stop the menses considering the fact that she is a challenged person?

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.
We recommend visiting a skilled doctor who fears Allah. If he says that there is no harm in having the injection, then it is permissible to use it. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling when a woman forsakes her husband in bed because he doesn`t pray regularly?

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.
He must pray regularly so as not to be admitted into Hell; however, you must obey him in lawful matters even if he doesn`t pray on regular basis because he is considered a disobedient Muslim and not an infidel. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a woman to uncover her face while performing Umrah (minor Hajj)?

The woman while in a state of Ihram (ritual consecration) is obligated to uncover her face and hands, but at the same time permitted to let her head-covering garment drape from her head down over her face when non-Mahram (i.e., marriageable) men pass by her. And Allah Knows Best.
