Date: 12/9/1424 AH, corresponding to 6/11/2003

 

We have received the following question:

What is the ruling of Sharia on leasing an endowed estate as a coffee shop that serves carbonated beverages and hookah?

Answer: All of success is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds

After researching and deliberating, the Board decided the following:

It is permissible to the leasee of an endowed estate to run it as a coffee-shop for serving carbonated beverages and hookah provided that he doesn`t use it for any illegal purpose, such as serving alcoholic drinks, playing cards, gambling, and mixing between the two sexes. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling of Sharia on giving the name "Wanas" to a child?

That is all right so long as the name doesn`t imply something bad. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

A man married a woman at the Islamic Centre in Brussels through a regular marriage contract. However, the husband left her for two years now and never provided her with financial support. Currently, she is staying in Amman, Jordan, and wants to remarry. Is her first marriage considered void and what should she do to remarry lawfully?

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
This issue is within the jurisdiction of the Islamic courts and they have the final say regarding the dissolution of the first marriage contract if there is valid ground for that. Therefore, her first marriage remains valid unless a court decision says otherwise. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Does offering Udhiyah (Offering a Sacrificial animal at Aid Al-Adha) avails from offering Aqiqa?

Offering an Udhiyah doesn't avail a person from offering Aqiqa because each of which is a different act of worship. And Allah Knows Best.
