Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 05-09-2018

Resolution No. (264) by the Board of Iftaa', Research and Islamic Studies:

"Prohibition of  Building Graveyard from Mosque`s Donations"

Date: (18/Thu Al-Hijjah/1439 AD), corresponding to (30/8/2018AH).

 

On its eleventh session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the letter sent from His Excellency, the Mayor of Barqash Municipality, and it read as follow: 

I have enclosed a letter from the Chairman of Khfur Rakeb`s Local Council in which he requested the ruling of Sharia on deducting a certain amount-from the donations raised in favor of Mos`ab Ibn Umayer's Mosque-to build an Islamic graveyard in that area since the old one is overcrowded. 
After prolonged deliberations, the Board decided the following:
It is impermissible to spend the donations in a purpose other than that for which they were raised since Mosques' Committees are entrusted with spending donations in the exact disbursement channel for which they were collected in the first place. This is because, Allah, The Most Exalted, Said (What means): "God doth command you to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are due" [An-Nisa' 58]. In conclusion, donations made in favor of the mosque should only be spent for the benefit of the mosque itself and spending them in building a graveyard is prohibited. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

How are gaps filled during congregational prayer?

A praying person is allowed to take two steps in order to fill the gap in the row ahead. If the distance was long and requires much movement, then it is impermissible for one to move to fill it because much consecutive movement (three movements) during prayer invalidates it.

What is the ruling of Sharia when a man releases his sperm out of his wife`s vagina?

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.
This is called coitus interruptus and it is permissible according to Sharia when practiced by agreement of both spouses. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling on going out wearing a long loose skirt with a long shirt that are neither tight nor revealing and without wearing any makeup?

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.
This is permissible as long as it doesn`t attract the attention and isn`t considered adornment, and this varies according to the environment in which you live. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a husband to stop his wife from visiting her family?

A husband shouldn`t stop his wife from visiting her family, and it is disliked for him to do so because such an act makes them harbor feelings of hatred against him.
