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

Is it permissible to have sexual intercourse with pregnant wife? 

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
There is no sin in having sex with one`s pregnant wife as long as there is no medical condition preventing her from that. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a man to marry up to four wives (polygamy in Islam) for pleasure although he can`t afford that?

It is desirable for the man to have one wife if there was no need for him to have more, if he can't afford marriage forthcoming expenses.

I am pregnant with four twins since two months although I didn't have childbearing potential during the last four years. In addition, the doctor specialized in reprusccusions, already has notified me about the possible reprusccusions as a result of being pregnant with four twins as follows: abortion, Metrorrhagia, Premature birth, high blood pressure, gestational diabetes and the like. What is the ruling on aborting some of the aforementioned embryos? A medical report was attached in which the status of my question is clarified.

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.
If the existence of the four embryos leads to critical reprusccusions/or threat on mother's health, life or a possibility of aborting all of them, then aborting one/two/three is permissible mitigate the above mentioned risks so long as the ages of the embryos don't exceed four months. And Allah Knows Best.
             

 

Is it permissible for someone who has forgotten to mention the supplication pertaining to answering the call of nature to say it while in the toilet?

It is disliked for a Muslim to mention Allah while in the toilet, but he/she may recall the supplication in his/her head without uttering it; that is in case he/she had forgotten mentioning it before entering the toilet.
