Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 12-11-2015

Resolution No.(182)(15/2012) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Linking the Rent with a Changing Parameter"

Date: 23/12/1433 AH, corresponding to 8/11/2012 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  linking the rent with a changing parameter.

After researching and deliberating, the Board decided what follows:

Linking rents with changing parameters is one of the modern forms employed by markets to overcome the fluctuation of prices; particularly, long term rents where prices of apartments vary and values differ in accordance with the factors affecting the market.

Therefore, the Board sees no harm in linking the rent with a specific parameter by which the contracting parties are governed when determining the amount of the rent at the beginning of long term leases, because it averts dispute and deception.

Since Muslim scholars have permitted hiring a worker in return for food and clothing, hiring a reaper in return for a fixed amount of the crop as well as selling and leasing according to the market price, or the standard price, then it is axiomatic that it is permissible to lease items (apartments, cars...etc.) against a rent which is linked with a certain financial parameter. And Allah Knows Best.

Decision Number [ Previous | Next ]


Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling of Sharia on uncovering Awrah  before  a female laser-hair-removal specialist to remove thick hair knowing that I`am engaged and feel embarrassed and this treatment is guaranteed and definitive?

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.
It is lawful for a Muslim woman to look at the body of another Muslim woman except what is between the navel and the knees.  In addition, it is lawful to look at the whole body for treatment; however, having thick hair isn`t considered an illness. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is abortion permissible when the family isn`t ready to receive a new baby?

Abortion is forbidden unless it constituted a serious threat against the mother`s life based on the opinion of trustful and God fearing physicians.

What is the stance of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah regarding the historical figure known as 'the Sufyani,' who some say will appear at the end of times? And what is the stance of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah regarding the group that killed Al-Husayn ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), particularly those who directly committed the killing, severed his head, and killed members of his family?

Most of the narrations about the signs of the Hour concerning the Sufyani, who is said to appear before the Mahdi, indicate that he is the leader of the army that will invade the Kaaba, and Allah will cause the earth to swallow them. We disassociate ourselves before Allah from those who killed Al-Husayn Ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), supported his killing, or encouraged it, whether openly or secretly. The inner matters are left to Allah alone. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

Ruling when Husband Utters Divorce Jokingly, or in the State of Intoxication or Anger 

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
The man who utters divorce while in the state of anger, his divorce doesn`t take place and the same ruling applies to the man who is forced to utter divorce because he is threatened to be killed or one of his organs cut off, in addition to other matters that scholars have mentioned in this regard. However, the man who utters divorce jokingly or while having intentionally drunk alcohol, his divorce takes place. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
