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

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

I went to the health center today to take an intramuscular injection of Neurorubin B12. The nurse told me that this type of injection breaks the fast because it nourishes the body. Is this true? I have heard that intramuscular injections do not break the fast, but I was unsure about this type, so I decided not to take the injection.
 
 
 
 
 

Therapeutic injections administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly do not invalidate the fast because they do not enter the digestive tract through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do break the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in effect. The B12 injection is a therapeutic injection and does not break the fast. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Is the Woman wearing an Islamic veil permitted to uncover the veil in front of her brother in law, husband of paternal uncle`s daughter and husband of sister in law?  

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
 
The punishment for Zina (Adultery and extramarital relations) is the same for men and women: 100 lashes for the unmarried to be witnessed by a group of the believers. Definitely, this person has incurred the wrath of Allah; however, he must make repentance immediately, refrain from this grave sin, and seek Allah`s forgiveness. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Zakah due on a woman`s jewelry?

Obligatory Zakah (obligatory charity) isn`t due on a woman`s jewelry used for adornment, provided that the value of each piece is within the range amongst common market price. And Allah Knows Best.

My headcloth is causing me a terrible headache and severe shortsightedness. Is it permissible for me to take it off?

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.
If the headcloth Khimar is harmful, it is sufficient to wear the Niqab (face-veil). However, with the passage of time you will get used to the Khimar and these symptoms will go away. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
