Resolution No.(194): "The Prohibition of Removing the Uterus of Challenged Girls and Society’s Responsibility Towards them"

Date Added : 23-11-2015

 

Resolution  No.(194) (2/2014) by The Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

 "The Prohibition of Removing the Uterus of Challenged Girls and Society’s Responsibility Towards them"

Date: (7/Rabi`a Al-Awwal/1435 A.H), corresponding to (9/1/2014 A.D)

All perfect praise is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

On its eleventh session held on the above given date, the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies reviewed the ruling of Sharia on removing the uterus of mentally challenged girls under the pretext that it causes health risks and affects their personal hygiene. Having taken the technical opinion of educational specialists and doctors into consideration and having become familiar with the negative effects of the aforementioned procedure, the Board decided what follows:

Ablating an organ that has been created by Allah is impermissible, save in hopeless cases. As for those who are physically, or mentally challenged, we see no valid excuse for allowing  such kind of procedure since it violates Allah`s creation, causes health risks due to cutting and surgery, and leads to negative effects that facilitate offending these girls and inflicting harm on them.

It is the duty of their parents and guardians to protect them against any harm. Society should also protect them against different types of abuse through taking all the necessary measures which guarantee that, because it is the right of the weak to be protected, and failure to perform that role makes the aforesaid parties sinful and that sin multiplies every time he/she (The challenged) is being abused. Therefore, families that are afflicted with challenged children as well as society should  exercise patience when dealing with them and seek the recompense from Allah. Our Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said in this regard: “All of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and the things under your care.”  {Bukhari and Muslim}. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Who is required to give fidyah for fasting?

Fidyah—feeding one needy person for each missed fasting day—is required for:
1. Those who are permanently unable to fast, such as:
○ Elderly men and women who are too weak to fast.
○ People with chronic illnesses that have no hope of recovery.
2. Pregnant or breastfeeding women who break their fast out of fear for their child (fetus or infant).
3. A person who delays making up Ramadan fasts (qada) until the next Ramadan begins, without a valid excuse.
4. The estate of a deceased person who had missed obligatory fasts and had the ability to make them up but did not do so.

Is it permissible for a husband to stop his wife from visiting her family?

A husband shouldn`t stop his wife from visiting her family, and it is disliked for him to do so because such an act makes them harbor feelings of hatred against him.

 
What is the ruling on someone who eats or drinks thinking that the sun has set, then realizes that it has not yet set?

Whoever eats or drinks believing that the sun has set, then later discovers that it has not yet set, their fast is invalid, and they must make up that day after Ramadan. It is not permissible to break the fast before confirming sunset—either by seeing it, through personal reasoning, or by relying on the statement of someone trustworthy in their religious commitment.

When does the time for the Fajr prayer begin?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
The time for the Fajr prayer begins once the Mu’adhin starts the second Adhan (Al-Adhan al-Thani), and not after the first Adhan. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
