Resolution No.(235): "Getting Rid of Ill-Gotten Money"

Date Added : 20-03-2017

Resolution No.(235)(3/2017) by the Board of Iftaa, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Getting Rid of Ill-Gotten Money"

Date: (7/Jumada Al-Akhira/1438), corresponding to (6/3/2017)

 

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 the second session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the following question: 

I have worked for a usurious bank, but I`m now retired. Out of my salaries, I managed to construct a building of my own, and leased it against (1200 Dinars) per month. Is this income lawful? are my children allowed to benefit from it?, and how can I purify that money?

After deliberations, the Board decided the following:

There is no harm that you and your children benefit from the revenue of that building regardless of its source because the sin of usury or helping others to commit that sin falls on the person himself, has nothing to do with the money, and that person can free himself from the liability by sincere repentance, seeking Allah`s forgiveness, and never committing that sin again. It is hoped that this in addition to giving charity will avail in purifying that money, with Allah`s mercy and forgiveness. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on a person who broke the fast a day in Ramadan due to hardship?

He/she is obliged to make up that day.

I am a woman, and my natural menstrual cycle lasts six days. In the evening, I perform the testimony (Tashahhud) for myself, and then I engage in sexual intercourse with my husband. After intercourse, I experience bleeding, either immediately or the next day. Is my intercourse with my husband during this time forbidden?
 

It seems that your menstrual cycle lasts seven days, not six. Therefore, you should wait until the bleeding stops, then perform ghusl and pray. And Allah Knows Best.

I went to the health center today to take an intramuscular injection of Neurorubin B12. The nurse told me that this type of injection breaks the fast because it nourishes the body. Is this true? I have heard that intramuscular injections do not break the fast, but I was unsure about this type, so I decided not to take the injection.
 
 
 
 
 

Therapeutic injections administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly do not invalidate the fast because they do not enter the digestive tract through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do break the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in effect. The B12 injection is a therapeutic injection and does not break the fast. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Is it permissible for me to name my first son “Kassim” ?

The Prophet (PBUH) prohibited combining his name and his nickname, but using one of them is desirable.
