"Comments Made on Children`s Rights` Bill, 2004"

Date: 17/5/1425 A.H, corresponding to 5/7/2004 A.D

 

 

The Board has reviewed the above bill and made the following comments:

Paragraph (4): "Despite what has been mentioned in any other law, each child enjoys the right to lineage, which is ascertained by the owner of the bed, confession, or evidence, including the employment of scientific methods."

The Board believes that this paragraph should be amended as follows: "Each child has the right to lineage, which is ascertained by the bed of a valid marriage contract, confession, or evidence, in line with the rules of Islamic Law."

Article (8), Paragraph (A): "Principles, conditions, and all rules pertaining to alternative care shall be determined by a law promulgated for this purpose."

The Board believes that this paragraph should be amended as follows: " Principles, conditions, and all rules pertaining to alternative care shall be determined by a law promulgated for this purpose, in line with the rules of Islamic Law."

Paragraph (W): "Guaranteeing the protection of children against factors that influence their instinct, drive them to go astray, violate social behavior and healthy life styles."

The Board believes that this paragraph should be amended as follows: "Guaranteeing the protection of children against factors that influence their instinct, drive them to go astray, violate Sharia as well as social behavior and healthy life styles"

Article (20), Paragraph (A): "Non-prosecuting a child before he/she completes ten years"

The Board recommends amending this paragraph as follows:

"Non-prosecuting a child before he/she completes puberty."

Article (25), Paragraph (A): The Board has noticed that the information given in this paragraph violate the principles of Islamic Law. For instance: " In Sharia  terms, the penalty set for sodomy is extremely severe because of the seriousness of this offence." As a result, the Board expresses its reservation over this article. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

A person owns sheep or goats and occasionally feeds them from the grass in other people's orchards without the owners’ permission. Is it permissible to eat the meat of these animals if invited to do so? Is it permissible to purchase from these sheep whose owner feed them from people's orchards without their permission, and can one accept gifts from them, such as meat or milk?

 

 

 

Yes, it is permissible because the one who is accountable is their owner, and the cost of the grass on his accountability. In addition, in order to be on the safe side you should abstain from eating his products, because his sheep case is as if they were fed on impurities. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to offer the Eid sacrifice in a non-Muslim country?

Eid sacrifice is permissible anywhere, and Islamic Sharia hasn`t determined that it should be in an Islamic country, but poor Muslims should be given a share in order for it to be valid since it is an act of worship. A portion of that Eid sacrifice should be given at least to one poor Muslim, and if that wasn`t possible then the one offering it should consume it along with his family.

How does a praying person prostrate?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It is from Sunnah that he/she sits with both knees on the ground in order to prostrate, then hands, nose and forehead are placed on the same place. In addition, the toes have to touch the ground, and be directed towards the Qiblah (direction of Ka`bah) during prostration. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible for me to make up for my late father`s missed fasts? and should I make an intention to this end by saying: "I intend to make up for my late father`s missed fasts?

It is permissible to fast on behalf of the deceased father in order to make up for his missed fasts, and you should make the intention for offering fast from night time, but uttering the intention isn`t a condition. And Allah Knows Best.
