Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

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.

Chairman of the Iftaa` Board, The Mufti General of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, His Grace Sheikh Abdulkareem Al-Khasawneh.

Summarized Fatawaa

Should I pick up the newspapers thrown at the street because they definitely contain sacred names?

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.

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) says: "Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you." Part of this is protecting whatever contains the name of Allah. Therefore, if you see a paper containing Allah's name thrown in the street, then you should grab it and similar papers, then burn them in a clean place. Doing so is permissible because Othman (May Allah be pleased with him) has burnt copies of the Quran which didn`t match the main Mus-haf. However, you aren`t required to collect every paper in the street. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a person who is in a state of Janabah(Ritual impurity) to clip his nails, or to cut his hair?

It is permissible for those in a state of Janabah and menstruation to clip their nails and to shave whatever hair that is permissible to be shaved.

What is the ruling of Sharia on charging one`s mobile from the plug of the university`s lecture room?

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.
The pious wouldn`t do that. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a father to disinherit his disobedient, alcohol consuming son and his daughter who had fled home and never returned?

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.
It is permissible to give heirs some money because of their being extra obedient or needy. As far as inheritance is concerned, it is to be divided after one`s death, so it had better be left to the court itself. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
