Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 20-03-2017

Resolution No.(234)(2/2017) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Deducting a Percentage from the Orphans` Allowance to Cover Healthcare Expenses"

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

During the second session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the question sent from the Secretary-General of the Islamic Charity Center Society, Mr. Al-Mohaisin and it reads as follows: 
The Islamic Charity Center Society deducts (5%) from the monthly allowance of the orphans and the poor families under its guardianship to cover the health services delivered to them by one of its medical centers. Is this permissible? 
Answer: 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.
After deliberating the above question, the Board decided the following:
If donors have been acquainted with the (ICCS) "Guardianship system" and approved of its terms and conditions; particularly the deduction of the afore percentage then it is permissible for the (ICCS) to do so since the approval of the donor is tantamount to the permission stipulated by Sharia as far as the actions of the authorized (ICCS) are concerned. Moreover, since the above percentage is spent in what is beneficial to the above people, this means that the donations serve the purpose for which they were given in the first place. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Are phone conversations between the two sexes permissible if for consultation, and within the limits of good manners?

Such act is impermissible since it renders hearts corrupt, and could lead to forbidden attachment. Allah, The Almighty, Says (What means): "and follow not the footsteps of the devil." [Al-Baqarah/68].

I am an author, and I have books stored with me. Is it permissible to pay my zakat in the form of books containing beneficial knowledge for poor students, such as chemistry and mathematics, or religious books that spread Islamic sciences?

Zakat on wealth must be paid in cash from the wealth itself. Therefore, you should pay your zakat in monetary form so that the poor can purchase what they need. And Allah Knows Best.

 

 

 

I used artificial nails on my wedding night, but I was surprised to find out that they require at least a week to remove. However, I performed all my prayers during that period. What is the ruling on those prayers?
 

If these nails prevent water from reaching one's skin then your prayer are invalid and obliged to redo all of them. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to listen to chants praising the Prophet if accompanied by musical instruments?

If singing, or chanting in praise of the Prophet was accompanied by a forbidden musical instrument, then it is forbidden.
