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.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is a woman`s neck an Awrah (private part)?

All Perfect Praise is due to The Lord of The Worlds.

It is an Awrah, and it is forbidden for her to reveal it before non-Mahrams (Marriageable men). And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a woman who has become pure before the end of forty days of confinement to perform different acts of worship? and is it lawful for her husband to have sex with her?

Once postpartum bleeding ceases and she is certain that it won`t happen again, she becomes pure, and so she should perform Ghusl (ritual bath), pray, and fast. She can also have sex with her husband even before the end of (40) days because the minimum of postpartum bleeding is a moment, and the maximum is (60) days. However, the postpartum bleeding for the majority of women is (40) days, but this does not apply to rest of them.

What is the ruling on Qonot Du`a (supplication) at dawn prayer?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It is a confirmed Sunnah, and whoever leaves it should perform Sujood As-Sahw (prostration of forgetfulness). And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on a young man and a young woman having a love relation for the purpose of getting married?

It is forbidden for a man and a woman to have any kind of relation whether for marriage, or not because it leads to committing sin. Such relations include: private meetings, mixing, gazing, and seclusion (Khulwa). Accordingly, one who is sincere in his intentions should go to the woman`s guardian and ask for her hand in marriage.
