Resolution No.(79) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"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

The supplication: "O Allah, we do not ask You to avert the decree, but we ask You for kindness in it." Is this Supplication Halal or Haram?

We are obliged to supplicate Allah, so when supplicating we comply with Allah's Ordainments, and making supplications that are reported in the authentic texts is better. And Allah Knows Best. 

Is it permissible to pray with a heater (stove) in front of me?

There is no harm in praying with a heater in front of you, as long as you do not intend to venerate the fire or imitate those who worship it. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it incumbent on a father to cover the marriage costs of his son if the latter couldn`t afford them?

The son should seek the help of his relatives in order to convince his father to do the aforesaid, and the father should make sure that his son doesn`t commit fornication through helping him to get married, and Allah will reward him for doing so.

Is a wife considered sinful if she asked for divorce because her husband married another woman?

A second marriage is lawful, and so it is impermissible for you to ask for divorce because of that. If you are certain that you won`t be able to deliver Allah`s rights and those of your husband`s , then it is permissible for you to ask for Khul`a (Divorce on the demand of the wife). However, you should exercise patience since after difficulties, there is easiness by the will of Allah.
