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 the prayer of a woman who is led by an Imam via T.V. permissible?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Amongst the conditions for the validity of prayer is that both the Imam and those led by him must be in the same place. Thus, the prayer of the person who is being led by a televised Imam is invalid unless he/she was with him in the same mosque. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on the cessation of blood after (40) days from delivery, but later continued sporadically during two days of Ramadan?

Once postpartum bleeding (Nifas) ceases, and the woman is certain that it won`t reoccur, then she becomes ritually pure and so she is free to make Ghusl (purificatory bath), pray, and fast. If the bleeding reoccurs before fifteen days from its cessation, and before the end of (60) days after delivery, then the ruling on postpartum bleeding is effective, and her fasting and prayer are null and void, thus she must make up the fasting that she missed and not the prayer during those particular days.

Is a wife considered divorced if her husband refused to go to bed with her (for sexual intercourse) for two months?

A wife doesn`t get divorced no matter for how long her husband refuses to have sex with her, and she had better go to court.

Is it required for a discerning child to make the intention at night if they wish to fast?

If a discerning child wishes to fast during Ramadan, they must make the intention at night because intention is one of the pillars of fasting, even though fasting is not obligatory for them.
