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

During Ramadan, a man had sexual intercourse with his wife. What is the expiation for that? And is he permitted to pay the expiation?

If a man has intercourse with his wife during the daytime in Ramadan, he must make up for that day and offer expiation. The expiation is fasting for two consecutive months. If he is unable to do so, he must feed sixty needy people. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

Is it permissible for the woman to use her mobile phone while on the street?

All Perfect Praise is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds 

Modesty should be observed by the woman at all times, so she is free to use her phone while on the street as long as it is done within the limits of Islamic manners. And Allah The Almigty Knows Best.

I wish to Pray at the Mosque, but I couldn't because I am a Woman. How can I get such a Reward?

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                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Abdullah Ibn Masood (May Allah be Pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Her prayer inside her home is better than its courtyard, and her prayer in her own bedroom is better than inside her home." [Abu Dawood]. Her staying at home, and not going to the mosque in obedience to Allah`s injunctions entails a great reward similar to that bestowed on a man for going to the mosque since the Mercy and Blessings of Allah Prevails. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on having slight discharges of menstrual blood during daytime of Ramadan, and before Maghrib time?

A woman who is certain that her menses have started during daytime of Ramadan is in a state of menstruation, and her fasting is considered broken at first sight of blood. However, she is rewarded for not breaking fast at the beginning of daytime.
