Resolution No.(89): "Ruling on the Decoration Stamped into the Cover of a Copy of the Noble Quran"

Date Added : 07-12-2015

 

Resolution No.(89) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on the Decoration Stamped into the Cover of a Copy of the Noble Quran"

Date: 13/6/1426 AH, corresponding to 20/7/2005

 

 

We have received the following question:

What is the ruling of Sharia on the decoration stamped into the cover of a medium-size copy of the Noble Quran printed by Dar Al-Mahabbah?

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.

The Board has inspected the above decoration and found out that it resembles the cross. As a result, since Sharia stipulates that Islamic arts must reflect an Islamic theme, and represent only the views related to Islamic creed and the rulings of Islamic Sharia, the Board decided removing the above decoration from the cover of the mentioned copies of the Noble Quran. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Does undergoing surgery under anesthesia break the fast?

Anesthesia itself does not break the fast because anesthetic gases have no physical substance (jirm), and subcutaneous anesthesia injections do not reach the body cavity (jauf). However, this is on condition that the person is conscious at some point during the fasting hours:
● If they were awake at the beginning of the day, their fast remains valid.
● If they wake up even for a moment before sunset, their fast is also valid.
However, if the surgery involves the entry of foreign substances into the body cavity, their fast is invalidated, and they must make up for that day later.

If a traveler settles or a sick person recovers while fasting, is it permissible for them to break their fast?

● If a sick person starts the day fasting and then recovers during the day, they must complete their fast.
● If a traveler starts the day fasting and then settles (returns or stops traveling) during the day, they must also complete their fast.
● It is forbidden for both of them to break their fast because the concession (rukhsah) is no longer valid once its reason disappears.

Is my husband entitled to take my salary?

Your salary is yours, and you may give some of it to him as a kind of free-will contribution.

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.
