Resolution No.(228): "Ruling on Distributing Donations that haven`t Reached their Destination"

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

If someone fasts on the White Days with the intention of making up for missed fasts (qada), will they receive the reward for both voluntary and obligatory fasting?

Making up missed obligatory fasts (qada) is mandatory, and the intention for qada must be specified.
If a person makes up their missed Ramadan fasts on the White Days, they must intend qada, but they may also intend to fast the White Days, and Allah willing, they will receive the reward for both.
This is similar to entering a mosque and praying an obligatory prayer, where the person also earns the reward of Tahiyyat al-Masjid (greeting the mosque) if they intend both.
● If the person missed their fasts due to a valid excuse, they may wait and fast on the White Days.
● However, if they missed the fasts without a valid excuse, they must make up the fasts immediately and should not delay them until the White Days.

Is the father a Mahram (Non-marriageable) to his son`s mother-in-law?

The father is a non-Mahram (Marriageable) to his son`s mother-in-law, so it is impermissible for them to look at each other, or to have a seclusion (Khalwah).

Does passing wind from the anus affect ritual purity?

Ablution is nullified by the passing of wind from the anus, but washing the anus is not required as wind leaves no impurity.

What is the ruling on seeking forgiveness between the two Friday sermons?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
It is permissible to seek forgiveness (Istighfar) between the two Friday sermons (Khutbatayn), and it does not invalidate the Friday prayer (Salat al-Jumu'ah). Furthermore, it is not disliked (Makruh) to speak before the sermon, after it, or between the two sermons. Likewise, it is not disliked for one who enters during the sermon to speak if there is a need for it, provided he has not yet taken a place and settled into it. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
