Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 15-07-2020

Resolution No. (290) (10 /2020) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Jordan`s Position Paper on Abortion"

Date: (29th of Shawwal, 1441 AH), corresponding to (21/6/2020).

All perfect 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.

In its 9nth meeting held on the above date, the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies reviewed the letter of the Prime Minister Dr. Omar Razzaz in which he requested studying the attached documents about "Jordan`s Position Paper on Abortion"  and delivering the ruling of Sharia on that.

After thorough consideration, the Iftaa` Board decided the following:

The content of the paragraphs attached under the heading "Jordan`s Position Paper on Abortion" complies with the Ijtihad related to the ruling of Sharia on abortion and in which the objectives of Sharia were taken into consideration.

We (Iftaa` Board) recommend making some changes that are deemed essential for the completion of the Sharia opinion in the above paper. They are as follows:

First: "Raising awareness of the unlawful and the unsafe sexual relations within all groups of society, (P.6)." We recommend changing "Raising awareness" into "Warning against" while changing "Unlawful" and "Unsafe, wherever they occur, into "Relationships outside of valid marriage."

Second: About the heading "Including Sexual Education, (P.5)" We recommend adding "In a manner consistent with our social values and the principles of Islamic Law."

Third: We recommend adding the General Iftaa` Department to the implementers in the paragraphs entitled "Including Sexual Education" and "Raising religious awareness."

Fourth: "Opening reproductive health clinics for the young, male and female, (P.5)." We recommend linking this with "In a manner consistent with our social values and the principles of Islamic Law."

Fifth: We also recommend linking the same phrase with "By nomination from the competent authorities," in margin No.(12), the system of forming an ethics board. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

A sixteen-year-old young woman suffers from Alopecia, and lost her hair and eyebrows as a result. Is it allowed to draw her eyebrows using henna and an eyeliner? 

All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
It is permissible for women to use henna and what the asker has mentioned isn`t considered hair extension. However, if this young woman is proposed to, she must disclose this matter to the person proposing to her to avoid deception. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best. 

Is ablution invalidated when blood comes out of the nose, or a wound?

Blood coming out of the nose, or a wound does not invalidate ablution, but it is preferable to make ablution as a way out of the scholars disagreement in this regard.

I am a doctor, and sometimes I refer patients to the hospital for surgical interventions, and they give me a commission from the fees of the surgeries, even though I do not perform these surgeries. What is the ruling?

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 this commission is charged to the patient as part of the operation costs, then it is not permissible. Additionally, a doctor should only recommend surgery if there is a genuine medical need, and the hospital should only perform an operation when necessary. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 

A person prays in a certain spot within the rows of the mosque, and gets angry if someone else prayed at his spot. What is the ruling on this behavior?

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                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) make it prohibited for a Muslim from having/taking a certain spot in the mosque when performing prayers if they arrived and find it occupied, furthermore; it is the religious duty on others (praying people) to offer a piece of advice to alert the ones who don't know, that whoever reaches a spot first at the mosque having a priority/privilege upon others in that spot. And Allah Knows Best.
