Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 18-03-2019

Resolution No. (272)(5/2019), By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Tonaib Village Graveyard"

Date: (30/Jumada Al-Akhirah/1440 AH), corresponding to (7/3/2019).

 

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

During its third session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the letter of His Excellency the Minister of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Sites (No.4/6/273041, dated 25/11/2018), in which it was referred to the resolution of the Awqaf Council (No.4/11/2018, dated 12/8/2018). The latter pertained to giving back a portion of the registered shares of plot No.(5)/(3), Tonaib village, which is registered in the name of the public trustee of the Waqf the Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Sites. Could Your Grace discuss this matter with the concerned parties to deliver the ruling of Sharia regarding it? Knowing that this whole plot of land was registered as a graveyard by virtue of Awqaf Law No.(32)/2001. Kindly see enclosed copy of the above resolution.

After deliberating, the Board arrived at the following decision:

The rules of Shraia require that the Ministry of Awqaf draw a distinction between two cases:

First: If the Waqif (Endower) has registered his land by virtue of an official document, then the Ministry shall take charge of the whole plot in line with the conditions of the Waqif.

Second: If the land wasn`t registered as an endowment, and still people were buried in it, in this case, it isn`t permissible to register it in the name of the public trustee (Ministry of Awqaf). However, the Ministry can register-according to its regulations-the part in which people were buried; to the exclusion of the rest of that land, since, in principle, the base rule is to keep all what had appeared on what they had appeared. The area in which no burial took place isn`t endowed. Therefore, it doesn`t remain under the supervision of the Ministry of Awqaf, and thus it must be given back to its original owner. And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Sometimes I receive a message containing a picture of someone desecrating the Noble Quran. The sender asks recipients to send that message to their contacts as an act of defending the Quran. What should I do when receiving such messages?

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

You don`t have to circulate that message, because this isn`t the proper way to defend the Quran. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is Aqeeqah?

It is the sheep slaughtered on the seventh day from the child`s birth, and it is a confirmed Sunnah after the Prophet(PBUH).

Is it permissible for a woman to apply Kuhul (Halal eyeliner) and go out wearing it?

Kuhul is part of a woman`s adornment, and it is forbidden for her to show that to anyone other than a husband, or a Mahram (Unmarriageable kin).

I have concluded my marriage contract at a Sharia court; however, one day I was talking to my fiancée over the phone and she got on my nerves leading me to utter one divorce. This is knowing that I can`t tell my her father because he is very strict and will not accept that at all. What is the best course of action that I should pursue in this situation?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
When divorce takes place before the consummation of marriage it is called Ba`in divorce (Minor irrevocable divoce), so your wife is considered unlawful to you until you conduct a new marriage contract and pay Mahr , and you should visit the Iftaa` Department in order to know the correct Fatwa. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

[1] Minor irrevocable divorce [Ar.Talaq al-Ba'in Binona Soghra]: It is a divorce where the husband cannot take his ex-wife back unless with her consent, conducting a new marriage contract and paying new bridal wealth [Ar.Mahr].

[1] In Islam, a Mahr is the obligation, in the form of money or possessions paid by the groom, to the bride at the time of Islamic marriage. While the Mahr is often money, it can also be anything agreed upon by the bride such as jewelry, home goods, furniture, a dwelling or some land.
