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

What should a woman who is in a state of menstruation, or confinement do if she became ritually pure during the day of Ramadhaan ?

If she became pure during the day time of Ramadhaan, it is desirable for her to fast the rest of that day, and to make up for it along with the days that she had missed due to menstruation.

Allah The Almighty Made marrying up to four women lawful, but human beings prohibit that with their own land laws. What is the position of Sharia on this?

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.
What Allah has made lawful, human beings can`t make it unlawful. However, taking the decision to marry up to four women requires material and physical abilities, in addition to having the courage to make such a decision. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

How is the Zakah(obligatory charity) on articles of merchandise calculated?

(2.5%) of each article`s value is paid as Zakah after a whole lunar year had lapsed.

Who is required to fast?

Any adult, sane, and hardship enduring Muslim person is required to fast unless there were prohibiting conditions such as menstruation and confinement.
