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

Is housemaid right hand possession?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.
 
Housemaid isn`t right hand possession. Rather, she is a free woman because she is just hired to deliver a service. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling on swearing a false oath by the Holy Quran?

Swearing a false oath by the Holy Quran dips the oath-taker in Hellfire, and one who had done so should turn to Allah in repentance, seek His forgiveness, give back rights to whom they belong, and pay the oath expiation.

What is the ruling on the yellow discharge that comes from a woman during pregnancy?

These discharges are not menstrual blood, but they are impure like urine and break the Wudu (ablution). If the discharge is frequent, its ruling is similar to that of urinary incontinence. The woman should perform wudu after the time of each prayer, pray the obligatory prayer, and any additional prayers she wishes, read the Quran, and take precautions against impurity to the best of her ability. Using a special pad can prevent the impurity from spreading. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling of Sharia on uncovering Awrah  before  a female laser-hair-removal specialist to remove thick hair knowing that I`am engaged and feel embarrassed and this treatment is guaranteed and definitive?

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 lawful for a Muslim woman to look at the body of another Muslim woman except what is between the navel and the knees.  In addition, it is lawful to look at the whole body for treatment; however, having thick hair isn`t considered an illness. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
