Date Added : 26-05-2019

Resolution No.(279)(13/2019), By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Ruling on Using a Mosque`s Hall on Religious and Social Occasions"

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.(4/2/3/2484) sent from His excellency Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Dr. Abdulnaser Abu Al-Basal, and reads as follows: I have enclosed a copy of the Awqaf Council`s resolution No.(3/16/2018), (31/12/2018) which asks for clarifying the ruling of Sharia on using the hall of late Ali Wadi`s mosque`s in Salhoob town, by the mosque`s committee, for paying condolences upon someone`s death, delivering religious lessons and lectures.

After deliberating, the Board arrived at the following decision:

Empty extra halls of a mosque are of two types:

First: If the creator of the endowment (Donor) stipulated using the hall annexed to the mosque for paying condolences, in case of someone`s death, and in accordance with teachings of Sharia, then that is permissible, because the stipulation of the donor has the same binding force as the text of Sharia. In other words, he has endowed this hall for social solidarity during hard times.

Second: If the creator of the Waqf didn`t make any stipulation regarding this hall, attention should be given to the following:

If the land was endowed by a public or a private party and the donor is alive, then there is no harm in using the hall for paying condolences. This of course after obtaining the permission of the donor and the Ministry of Awqaf in its capacity as administrator of the Waqf (Endowment), and to the extent which achieves benefit and facilitates for the people.

However, if the donor was dead, then the decision is up to the Waqf administrator, the Ministry of Awqaf, and to the extent that achieves benefit and facilitates for the people. And Allah the Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is there a solution to put an end to thinking of worries during prayer?

Firstly, make ablution after the time for prayer begins and busy yourself with remembering Allah, The Exalted, before the iqaamah (start of prayer).In order to become humbly submissive during prayer, you must perform prayer in congregation. After the prayer ends, stay in your place and read the post-prayer remembrances (Adhkaar) and make supplication to Allah, The Exalted.

I can`t afford to get married, what should I do to curb my sexual drives?

You should offer a lot of voluntary fasting, keep busy with useful and permissible acts and make supplication to Allah, The Exalted.

Is prayer nullified by nose bleed?

 All praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                                           Blood coming out of the nose, or a wound doesn`t nullify prayer regardless of its quantity. And Allah Knows Best.

Talking to one's fiancée in Ramadan with romantic talk may lead to arousal, and if pre-ejaculate fluid (Madhy) is discharged as a result, it does not break the fast. However, it is advised to avoid actions that provoke desire and lead to this outcome. If semen (Mani) is discharged as a result, it does break the fast.
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

The discharge of Madhy doesn't invalidate one's fasting but it invalidates the ablution and his clothes must be washed because they are impure in this case. As for Mani, it breaks one's fast and making up invalidataed  is obligatory, beside; a Muslim suitor should abstain from these matters during Ramadan and not to degrade the holy month to this extent. And Allah Knows Best.
