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

Where should a woman who is led by her husband in prayer stand?

All perfect praise be to Allah The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                          It is from Sunnah (Prophetic tradition) that she stands behind him. And Allah Knows Best.

I am a doctor, and sometimes I refer patients to the hospital for surgical interventions, and they give me a commission from the fees of the surgeries, even though I do not perform these surgeries. What is the ruling?

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.
If this commission is charged to the patient as part of the operation costs, then it is not permissible. Additionally, a doctor should only recommend surgery if there is a genuine medical need, and the hospital should only perform an operation when necessary. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

Is washing both openings (Istinjaa`) a must before every ablution?

Washing the front and back openings (Istinjaa`) is a must in case they have an impurity, but if they do not, there is no need for that, and Istinjaa` is not a condition for the validity of ablution.

How should a woman make up prayers that she missed two days from delivery?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It is prohibited to delay prayer beyond its prescribed fixed time, therefore, the woman in question is obliged to make up missed prayers after delivery and confinement i.e. once she becomes ritually pure. And Allah Knows Best.
