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

When Iddah is Initiated for Deceased's Wife?

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.

Iddah is observed on the same date at which her husband passed away for four months, but as for the pregnant, it is observed at the date she gives birth. And Allah Knows Best. 

Is it permissible for a woman to wear underwear while performing Umrah?

Yes, it is permissible for a woman to wear underwear while performing Umrah. This is because she should keep her regular clothes that cover all her body while being in a state of Ihram (ritual consecration) for Hajj, or Umrah. However, she should uncover her face and hands, but it is permissible for her to let her head-covering garment drape from her head down over her face when non-Mahram (i.e., marriageable) men pass by her. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a person who has to make up for missed fasts to fast six days of Shawwal (the month directly after Ramadan) before making up for the missed fasts?

Yes, it is permissible for him/her to do so, but it is better that they make up for missed fasts first. And Allah Knows Best.

I have asked a marriage official to conclude my marriage since I have no proxy and, being an adult, I can act as the proxy of myself, but he refused. What should I do?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
In order for a marriage to be valid there must be a Wali (Guardian) for the woman: father, brother, paternal uncle or any paternal relative. If there isn`t any, then the judge can act as the woman`s guardian and conclude the marriage contract. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
