Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 18-12-2017

Resolution No. (223) (6/2016)By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

 "Ruling on the Slaughtering done in Amman Slaughterhouse " 

Date: 5/ Sha`ban/ 1437 AH, corresponding to 12/ 5 /2016 AD.

 

During its sixth session held on the above date, the Board received a question from Amman slaughterhouse concerning the ruling of Sharia on the slaughtering done there? 

After deliberating, the Board decided the following:

Lawful slaughtering is that done to a living animal because Allah, The Almighty, Said (What means): "except for what you have sacrificed duly ." {Al-Mai`da/3}.  Also, The Prophet (PBUH) said: "and what you hunt with your untrained dog, and you find in a position that you slaughter it, then eat." {Agreed upon}. Besides, Al-Imam An-Nawawi said: "If a beast of prey has cut a sheep and its owner slaughtered it while it was alive, then it is lawful to eat from its meat, but if it wasn`t alive, then it is unlawful to eat from its meat." {Al-Majmou`}.

After it was made clear to us (Iftaa` Board) that the slaughtering carried out in public slaughterhouses is done to living animals, then, in principle, their meat is lawful and it is permissible to eat from it. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

I have been married for five years. My husband has two sons from his first marriage. Nevertheless, I took care of his children, and gave birth to a baby boy who is now three years old. Unfortunately, we keep fighting all the time; sometimes over his two sons and sometimes over his family. If I serve his family members and praise them, he treats me kindly. If I don`t, he turns my life into living hell. What should I do?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.

Spouses should live with each other on a footing of kindness and equity. In your case, constructive dialogue is the best course of action. We advise you to be patient, commit your affair to Allah and ask Him to help you. We also recommend that you seek the help of the people of goodness and make them fix things between you and your husband. If all attempts for reconciliation fail then go to court, but we remind you that a problem, which could be solved with a beautiful word, is no problem at all, so praise family and children and try your best to win their hearts. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is Zakah (obligatory charity) due on articles of merchandise even if they were stacked in the merchant`s stores for years?

Yes, Zakah is due on goods even if they were stacked in merchant`s stores for years, in this manner Islam struggle against monopoly.

Is it permissible for the woman who is observing Iddah after the death of her husband to exchange calls with her relatives and husband`s family call?

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.
It is permissible for the woman who is observing Iddah* after death of husband to exchange calls with them; however, when she speaks to non-Mahrams , she shouldn`t be soft of speech and she should be straight to the point. This because Almighty Allah Says (What means): "O ye wives of the Prophet! Ye are not like any other women. If ye keep your duty (to Allah), then be not soft of speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease aspire (to you), but utter customary speech." [Al-Ahzaab/32]. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 

 [1] The iddah is a waiting period that a Muslim woman observes after the death of her husband or after a divorce. The Quran says: For those men who die amongst you and leave behind wives, they (the wives) must confine themselves (spend iddah) for four months and ten days.

Is it permissible for us to sever ties of kinship if our blood-relatives` gatherings/meetings involve acts of sin?

Observing kinship ties is obligatory, and paying your blood-relatives a visit causing their sinful acts to be hindered , then you should do so. However, if their sinful acts continue while you are at their gathering and they didn't respond positively, then observing kinship ties via telephone and the like will suffice in this case. And Allah Knows
