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

Is it permissible to go to the bathroom wearing a necklace that has the word "Allah" inscribed on it?

All Perfect Praie 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.

Anything that contains words pertaining to Allah, The Almighty, is desired to be left outside when going to the bathroom, or to be hidden for fear of losing it. And Allah Knows Best.

A man cursed Allah, is he allowed to perform prayer without making Ghusl?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May Allah`s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
 
Cursing Allah is an act of apostasy and one who commits it must utter the testimonies of faith, make repentance, take back wife; however, it isn`t conditioned that he makes Ghusl (Full body ritual purification) to pray. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a religious young Muslim woman to love a young man for Allah`s sakes?

Such love between the two sexes is from the devil`s evil suggestions, and a pure Muslim woman should beware of such a matter, and she shouldn`t mix with non-Mahrams (Marriageable ).

What is the ruling on taking a loan from an interest-based bank (a usurious bank) to buy an apartment for housing, noting that I am renting at a high amount relative to my income, and I am an employee? Also, considering that the conditions of Islamic banks are strict, and I cannot obtain the full amount from them, is it permissible to take a loan to purchase an apartment or not? May Allah reward you.

 

 

 

 

 

Usury (interest) is prohibited by Islamic law, and the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who pays it, its recorder, and its witnesses. Whoever leaves something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate them with something better and greater, and Allah will provide relief after hardship. Needing a place to live does not permit taking a loan with interest. And Allah Knows Best.
