Resolution No.(234): "Deducting a Percentage from the Orphans` Allowance to Cover Healthcare Expenses"

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

Is it obligatory for someone traveling by plane in the afternoon during Ramadan to fast?

Anyone who intends to travel after dawn must begin the day fasting and continue with the intention of completing their fast, as fasting was obligatory upon them before traveling.
However, if they experience unbearable hardship after starting their journey, they are permitted to break their fast due to that hardship, not merely because of travel. In such a case, they must make up for the missed fast later.

Is the one who gives up on marriage because he can`t afford it considered sinful?

Marriage is desirable, but one who can`t afford it isn`t considered sinful. However, he should supplicate to Allah, and seek His forgiveness.

Is it valid to perform the obligatory prayer while sitting?

 

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
Standing (Al-Qiyam) while having the ability to do so is one of the pillars (Arkan) of the prayer; the obligatory (Faridah) prayer is not valid without it. However, whoever is unable to stand may pray sitting down. As for voluntary (Nafilah) prayers, it is permissible to pray them sitting even if one is able to stand, but the one sitting receives half the reward of the one who prays standing. And Allah the Exalted knows best.

Where should a woman following her husband or another man in prayer stand?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
If a single woman prays with a man—whether she is his wife or a non-mahram (Ajnabiyyah)—the Sunnah is for her to stand behind the Imam and be shielded by him. If the Imam is leading both a man and a woman, the man should stand to the Imam's right, and the woman should stand behind the male follower (Muqtadi). In this way, she is shielded from the Imam by the male follower and remains at a distance from the follower and his line of sight. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
