Date Added : 22-05-2019

Resolution No.(278)(12/2019), By The Board of Iftaa',Researches and Islamic Studies:

 "Ruling on Renting a Mosque`s Mortuary"

Date: (11/ Ramadan/1440 AH), corresponding to (16/5/2019 AD).

 

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

During its sixth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the letter No.(5/5/3/993) sent from His excellency Deputy Director of Awqaf Funds Development Department Dr. Abed Mahmoud Al-Smiraat, and reads as follows:

We would like to bring to Your Grace`s attention the fact that At-Tawbah Funeral Center has applied for renting Al-Ethar Mosque`s Mortuary in Hashmiah area, Zarka. Could you kindly clarify the ruling of Sharia on this?

After deliberating, the Board decided the following:

Endowment properties allocated for mosques should serve the purpose for which they were endowed in the first place without any financial investment returns from private companies. Therefore, the Board is of the view that it isn`t permissible to rent the above mortuary. Rather, it should remain as an endowment for the people to benefit from.  And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Does using a respiratory device (oxygen) affect the validity of fasting?

Using an oxygen device does not affect the validity of fasting because oxygen is a gas with no physical substance.
However, if medicinal substances with physical particles are added to the oxygen, its use would break the fast, as it enters the body cavity through a natural passage.

Is vomit among the nullifiers of Wudu (ablution)?

Vomit does not nullify Wudu, but it is a Najaasah (impurity) that requires rinsing the mouth and washing whatever became dirty by it since the prayer becomes valid only after the removal of Najaasah. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to give to the poor from among the People of the Book from the Udhiyah?

Praise be to Allah, and prayers and peace be upon our Master the Messenger of Allah.
 
It is permissible to give to the poor among the People of the Book from a voluntary sacrifice (uḍḥiyyat taṭawwuʿ), just as it is permissible to give charity (ṣadaqah) to them. This opinion is a view (wajh) within the Shāfiʿī school, which was favored by al-Muḥibb al-Ṭabarī and Imam al-Nawawī. [See: Ḥāshiyat Ibn Qāsim al-ʿAbbādī ʿalā Tuḥfat al-Muḥtāj (Vol.9/P.365)]. And Allah Almighty knows best.

Does post-natal bleeding (Nifas) stop before forty days after childbirth?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
Yes, post-natal bleeding (Nifas) can cease before the completion of forty days. If the bleeding stops completely and its return is not expected, the woman has attained ritual purity (Taharah), even if forty days have not yet passed. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
