Date Added : 04-11-2019

Resolution No.(282)(18/2019), By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Islamic Ruling on Shooting a Scene in a Cemetery"

Date: 25/Safar/1441 AH, corresponding to 24/10/2019 AD.

 

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

On its tenth session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the letter No.(2/1/1/12580) sent from His Excellency the Secretary General of Administrative and Financial Affairs at the Ministry of Awqaf Islamic Affairs and Holy Places Mr. Abdullah Al-Abbadi, and it reads as follows:

In reference to the letter of the Director of Production Services at the Royal Film Commission concerning shooting a scene in a cemetery in Swaileh area, could Your Grace explain the ruling of Sharia on that?

After careful consideration, the Board decided what follows:

If the scene to be filmed in the cemetery is confined to visiting a grave and reciting Al-Fatihah there then there is nothing wrong with that so long as the rules of visiting graves are adhered to. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Can I start fasting based on the moon sighting of another country?

You must follow the moon sighting of the country you are in.

Does tooth extraction during the day in Ramadan break the fast?

Simply extracting a tooth during the day in Ramadan does not break the fast. However, if water or blood enters the body cavity, the fast becomes invalid.
Whoever's fast is invalidated in this way must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day out of respect for the sacred month and make up for that day later.
It is preferable to postpone the extraction until nighttime or after Ramadan if possible.

Is it permissible for a wife to give her money to her family as a charity, or a gift without asking her husband, or seeking his consent?

The wife has the right to give her money as a charity, or a gift to her family, or to other people after consulting her husband out of respect, and this is the meaning of treating on footing of kindness and equity. Therefore, if he wanted to stop her from helping her family, then there is no harm in not telling him.

What are the nullifiers of fasting?

1. Anything that enters the body cavity intentionally, even in small amounts, through an open passage such as the mouth, nose, ears, front, or back private parts.
2. Intentional vomiting.
3. Sexual intercourse.
4. Masturbation.
5. Menstruation and postnatal bleeding.
6. Insanity.
7. Apostasy.
8. Fainting if it lasts for the entire day.
