Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 28-11-2016

Resolution No.(228)(12/2016) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Distributing Donations that haven`t Reached their  Destination"

Date: (8/Thulghidah/1437 AH), corresponding to (11/8/2016 AD).

 

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

During its tenth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the question of the Secretary-General of the Vocational Syndicates Complex , and it reads as follows:

Out of solidarity with the people of Gaza in the aftermath of the latest Israeli aggression against them, the Vocational Syndicates have launched fundraising campaign in their favor. As a result, many  projects have been executed in cooperation with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) such as: caravan houses, clothes for children, stationery, medical supplies, and the like. The latest of these projects was purchasing winter clothes for the children with a sum of (100,000)JDs. from the donations dedicated to the strip. In fact, these were sent in lorries after coordinating with the (JHCO); however, the Israeli authorities allowed a third into the strip and returned the rest. This is what we have been told by the (JHCO) who also told us that resending this shipment is impossible because the Israeli occupation could ban delivering any type of aid in the future. Moreover, it is also hard to keep these items at the warehouse of the (JHCO) for long; therefore, could you tell us the ruling of Sharia on redistributing these items amongst the poor and needy in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan?

After deliberating, the Board decided the following:

There is no harm that the (JHCO) distributes these items amongst the poor and needy in Jordan since donations and charities should be spent in the channel for which they have been raised in the first place. If that wasn`t possible, then they should be spent in a similar channel, for Allah, The Almighty, Says (What means): "Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope." {Al-Baqarah/286} and " for God suffereth not the reward to be lost of those who do good;" {At-Tawbah/120}. In addition, the Prophet (PBUH) said: "You will be rewarded for what you intended" {Musnad Ahmad}. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for the guardian, or the father of the child to hit the latter in order to teach him/her good manners?

It is permissible for the guardian to hit his/her child for teaching them good manners once they become ten years old provided that it is done mildly, harmlessly and without intimidation. Actually, such punishment is to be employed gradually i.e. after: asking, warning, and scolding. As for the teacher, he isn`t allowed to hit the student unless the latter`s father approves of it, and it is done according to necessity without intimidation, or harm.

What is the ruling on shaving one`s beard?

All Perefct Praise is due to Allah The Lord of The Worlds.

Growing a beard is mandatory and must be abided by except for a sound reason. And Allah Knows Best.

I married a man and had two children; however, we got separated four years ago. In addition, my husband`s brother, paternal uncle of my children, has been providing for them ever since. In fact, he is an honest, well-behaved man. Is it permissible that we get married although his brother (My ex-husband) is still alive?

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.
It is temporarily prohibited for a woman to marry her stepbrother. Therefore, once she receives Talaq Ba`in (Irrevocable divorce), she is allowed to marry her stepbrother, even if his brother (First husband) is still alive. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is everyone obligated to follow the fatwas of his country, and if we adopt the fatwas of scholars of other countries, is it considered a sin?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Wolrds and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.

It is permissible for the person who isn't specialized in Sharia sciences to apply the opinions of renowned scholars whom he trusts ,whether they be from his own country or not ,but if the scholars have different opnions regarding a certain issue/matter, then he must consult someone who is more knowledgeable than himself .It is preferable that you (the questioner) specify the case of your interest ,so that we could give you a more specific answer since some scholars deliver fatwas based on illogical/atypical opinions which should not be applied no matter what .And Allah The Exalted Knows Best.
