Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 10-05-2017

Resolution No.(232)(16/2016) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Donations must be Given to Targeted Recipients" 

Date: (22/Rabi al Awal/1438 AH)-(22/12/2016 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 twelfth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the question of the Secretary General of the Professional Associations` Complex, and it reads as follows: 

We would like to bring to your kind attention the fact that the Professional Associations Complex has carried out several fundraising campaigns in favor of our brothers in different troubled areas, such as Somalia, Gaza….etc, where part of the donations reached its targeted recipients while the remaining part was kept in the Complex`s safe deposit box. Is it permissible to distribute the latter amount among the poor and needy in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, given the hard living conditions they are experiencing?

After deliberations, the Board ruled that charities and donations must be given to the party for which they were raised in the first place, and the party raising them must adhere to the conditions of the donors since it merely functions as [a proxy] and must deliver trusts to whom they belong  since Allah, The Almighty, Says in this regard (What means): "God doth command you to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are due." {An`Nisa`/58}.

Moreover, since the door is still open for delivering those donations to their targeted recipients, then it is imperative to do so as soon as possible; however, if that was impossible, then the Board believes that they should be transferred to the Zakat Fund or the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is Aqeeqah?

It is the sheep slaughtered on the seventh day from the child`s birth, and it is a confirmed Sunnah after the Prophet (PBUH).

What is the ruling of Sharia on unregistered marriage in Jordan?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
Aishah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "Whichever woman married without the permission of her Wali her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If he entered into her, then the Mahr is for her in lieu of what he enjoyed from her private part. If they disagree, then the Sultan is the Wali for one who has no Wali." [At-Tirmithi, Hadith No.1102]. The Prophet (PBUH) also said: "There is no marriage without a guardian and two honorable witnesses." Related in [Al-Mo`jam Al-Basit for At-Tabarani, pp.6366]. Registration of the marriage contract at Islamic court is necessary for the preservation of rights and failing to do so is punishable by Jordanian Law. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best

Is the prayer of a woman who is led by an Imam via T.V. permissible?

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.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Amongst the conditions for the validity of prayer is that both the Imam and those led by him must be in the same place. Thus, the prayer of the person who is being led by a televised Imam is invalid unless he/she was with him in the same mosque. And Allah Knows Best.

When Iddah is Initiated for Deceased's Wife?

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.

Iddah is observed on the same date at which her husband passed away for four months, but as for the pregnant, it is observed at the date she gives birth. And Allah Knows Best.
