Resolution No.(25) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies: "Ruling on the Mechanism of the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company Employees' Saving Fund"

Date: 16/4/1413 AH, corresponding to 13/10/1992 AD.

We have received the following question: 
What is the ruling of Islamic Sharia on the Mechanism of the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company employees` saving fund?

Answer: All of Success is Due to Allah:
Sums that an employee takes from his salary, deductions from his pay, and equal sums paid by his company are all Halal (legal).
As regards profits, they are classified as follows: 
Profits that come from a Halal investment are Halal, such as: Company`s stocks and funds deposited in Islamic banks; whereas, those which come from a Haram (illegal) investment are Haram, such as: interests taken from non-Islamic banks and profits of companies that deal in Haram transactions.
In order for an employee to be on the safe side, he should seek the assistance of the financial officers and see what they think is most probable to be Halal money.
On the other hand, the Board is of the view that the illegal profits should be given to the poor and needy, even if they were his relatives whom he isn`t obliged to provide for and he is financially capable. This is because it isn`t permissible that he benefits from that illegal money directly or indirectly. Moreover, that money should also be spent on public projects.
The Board warns that in principle the mechanisms employed by such saving funds must comply with the rules of Sharia. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

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.

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.
