Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

Date Added : 27-12-2020

Resolution No. (295) (15/2020): "Ruling on Investing Part of an Endowed Land which is Unsuitable as Burial Ground"

Date: (16th of Rabi'ul-Akhir, 1442 AH), corresponding to (2/12/2020 AD).

 

 

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 13nth meeting held on the above date, the Board reviewed the letter No. 4/6/2/13262 sent from His Excellency the former Minister of Awqaf, Holy Sites and Islamic Affairs Dr. Abdulnaser Abulbasal. It reads as follows: Is it possible to invest part of the endowed land No. (100)-(7-Al-Wid al-Gharbi of al-Hashimiyah lands) on which An-No`man Bin Miqrin`s Mosque and an ancient graveyard are established ? It is worth pointing out that the part intended for investment is rocky ground, doesn`t have graves, and is unsuitable for burial. Moreover, this part is around 1000 square meters, located in a residential area, surrounded by several streets, and outside the Mosque`s wall. In addition, the municipality has closed this graveyard because this part, being rocky ground, is unsuitable for burial.

After careful consideration, the Board has arrived at the following decision:

Since this endowed land serves the purpose for which it was endowed in the first place, which is establishing the Mosque and burying the dead, then it is permissible to invest the rocky part, which is unsuitable for burial, and use the revenue for the benefit expected from this Waqf (Endowment). In addition, Resolution No. (23/2014) issued by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies contains this same content. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on making up for missed fasting after the second half of Sha`ban (the month before Ramadhaan)?

One is obliged to make up for missed fasting before the start of next Ramadhaan, and regardless of offering it during the first, or the second half of Shab`an. This is because the prohibition mentioned in the Hadith is for offering absolute voluntary fasting in the second half of Sha`ban. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it disliked to clip one`s nails at night, and is it permissible to burn them afterwards?

It is desirable to bury the cut hair and the clipped nails. As for burning clipped nails, there is no evidence forbidding that , but it is better to suffice with the aforesaid ruling-burying cut hair and clipped nails-as it is based on a well known evidence.

 If a disposable water bottle has the logo (Al-Aziz Water Shop) ,is it allowed to throw it away considering that (Al-Aziz) is one of Allah`s beautiful names?

All perfect praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
You can remove some of the letters so that the word isn`t read as (Al-Aziz). And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a man to propose to a woman during her `Iddah (waiting period)?

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.

It is impermissible to propose to a woman in her `Iddah, but there is no harm in making an implication to such an end in case she was observing it due to the death of her husband. And Allah Knows Best.
