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.

Summarized Fatawaa

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.

What is the ruling on not offering prayer in a nearby mosque, and going to a distant one?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
Praying in the nearby mosque takes precedence unless there was a circle of knowledge, or a larger congregation in the distant mosque provided that the congregational prayer in the nearby mosque isn`t undermined. And Allah Knows Best.

During Ramadan, a man had sexual intercourse with his wife. What is the expiation for that? And is he permitted to pay the expiation?

If a man has intercourse with his wife during the daytime in Ramadan, he must make up for that day and offer expiation. The expiation is fasting for two consecutive months. If he is unable to do so, he must feed sixty needy people. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

Is it permissible to give the expiation due on the vow of anger to one person?

The expiation for the vow of anger-and that of the oath-is to be given to (10) needy persons, or a needy family of ten individuals, but giving it to one person is impermissible.
