Resolution No. (288): "Allocating a Portion of Waqf Programs` Funds for the Waqf Administrator"

Date Added : 24-06-2020

Resolution No. (288) (8/2020) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Allocating a Portion of Waqf Programs` Funds for the Waqf Administrator"

Date: (24/Ramadan/1441 A.H), corresponding to (17/5/2020 A.D)

 

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.

At its session on 24 of Ramadan 1441A.H (17 May 2020 A.D), the Board considered the letter of His Excellency Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Dr.Mohammad AlKhalayleh. It included the following:  The Ministry plans to grant scholarships at public Jordanian universities to the children of Imams and other workers of the Ministry where (50) scholarships are to be granted per year in various departments. This is of course in accordance with specific regulations issued to this end and in which it is stipulated that the tuition costs will be provided for from the funds of Waqf programs (Educational Waqf Programs) at public universities in cooperation with the Royal Hashemite Court. It is worth pointing that these staff members are in dire need for these scholarships and receive nothing from the funds of the Waqf programs. Could Your Grace clarify the ruling of Sharia on this matter?

After careful consideration, the Board decided the following:

There is nothing wrong with allocating a portion of the Waqf programs' funds for the General Administrator of the Waqf; the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs within the framework of a special system issued by the Ministry to this end and in line with achieving the intended aim. This is based on the view of the majority of scholars who deemed allocating a portion of the Waqf revenues for the Waqf Administrator permissible. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the stance of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah regarding the historical figure known as 'the Sufyani,' who some say will appear at the end of times? And what is the stance of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah regarding the group that killed Al-Husayn ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), particularly those who directly committed the killing, severed his head, and killed members of his family?

Most of the narrations about the signs of the Hour concerning the Sufyani, who is said to appear before the Mahdi, indicate that he is the leader of the army that will invade the Kaaba, and Allah will cause the earth to swallow them. We disassociate ourselves before Allah from those who killed Al-Husayn Ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), supported his killing, or encouraged it, whether openly or secretly. The inner matters are left to Allah alone. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

What is the ruling on a person in a state of major impurity (junub) walking or eating before performing the ritual bath?

It is from the Sunnah for a Muslim to hasten to perform the ritual bath for major impurity. However, if he delays it, he does not sin provided he does not miss the prayer. It is permissible for the junub to walk, eat, drink, and sleep. It is recommended for him to perform ablution before these actions to reduce the state of impurity, although the best is for him to perform the ritual bath. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

I am pregnant with four twins since two months although I didn't have childbearing potential during the last four years. In addition, the doctor specialized in reprusccusions, already has notified me about the possible reprusccusions as a result of being pregnant with four twins as follows: abortion, Metrorrhagia, Premature birth, high blood pressure, gestational diabetes and the like. What is the ruling on aborting some of the aforementioned embryos? A medical report was attached in which the status of my question is clarified.

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.
If the existence of the four embryos leads to critical reprusccusions/or threat on mother's health, life or a possibility of aborting all of them, then aborting one/two/three is permissible mitigate the above mentioned risks so long as the ages of the embryos don't exceed four months. And Allah Knows Best.
