Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

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.

Decision Number [ Previous | Next ]


Summarized Fatawaa

I made a vow "If the Israeli troops retreated out of Gaza strip I will buy a cake from a certain bakery" and it happened. Am I obliged to buy from the same bakery?

You are obliged to buy from the same bakery. And Allah Knows Best.

Who is obligated to fast?

The one obligated to fast is the Muslim who is of sound mind, mature, capable of fasting, and free from obstacles such as menstruation or postpartum bleeding. And Allah Knows Best.

Is the two Raka's after Friday Prayer an act of Sunna?

Performing Two prostrations after the call of Friday's Athan is an act of Sunna, since Al-Bukhari stated in his Sahih: (The chapter of praying before and after Friday's prayer). This indicates that he mentions Friday's prayer exactly as the Duhr prayer (Afternoon prayer) as regards praying before and after the call of Athan. And Allah Knows Best. 

Is it permissible to have sexual intercourse with pregnant wife? 

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
There is no sin in having sex with one`s pregnant wife as long as there is no medical condition preventing her from that. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
