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

Is it permissible to make ablution without answering the call of nature after waking up?

Washing front and back openings (Istinjaa`) is not a condition for the validity of ablution because it is done to remove Najaasah (impurity), thus if there is no Najaasah, there is no need for that, and then it is permissible to make ablution without answering the call of nature. However, prayer is invalidated if there is Najaasah on the anus ,or the front opening, so it (Najaasah) must be removed for the prayer to become valid, and not the ablution.

What is the ruling on Friday Ghusl (ritual bath)?

Friday Ghusl is a confirmed Sunna (Prophetic tradition) even if a person wasn`t in a state of Janbah (ritual impurity), or physically unclean. However, one who doesn`t make Ghusl on Friday isn`t sinful for the Prophet (PBUH) said: "It is good for a Muslim to make ablution for Friday prayer, but it is better to make Ghusul. [At-Tirmithi & Abu Dawood].

Does sacrificing one sheep avail for the entire household?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
In Islamic jurisprudence, the sacrifice (Udhiyah) is considered a Communal Sunnah (Sunnah Kifayah) for the members of a single household who share the same financial support.
 
If one member of the household performs the sacrifice—even if they are not the primary breadwinner, such as the wife or one of the children—the religious request is fulfilled on behalf of the entire household. This is similar to the Funeral Prayer (Salat al-Janazah), where the obligation is dropped for the community if some perform it.
 
 While the communal request is satisfied by one person's action, the specific spiritual reward (Thawab) for the act of worship belongs only to the person who sacrificed, unless that individual explicitly intends to include the other family members in the reward.
 
 A single sacrifice also avails for a man who is married to more than one wife. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling on one who feels drops of urine falling during ablution?

If he is certain that urine is exiting from him during ablution, then his ablution is invalidated. He must remove the impurity from his clothes and body and repeat the ablution.
However, if what he feels regarding urine exiting is merely doubt or illusion, then ablution is not invalidated by doubt and illusion. He should not pay attention to it, and it is not permissible for him to follow the doubt and whispers that corrupt his religion. And Allah the almighty knows best.
