Date Added : 09-02-2021

Resolution No. (297) (17/2020), By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

"Investing Land Endowed for Building a Mosque"

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 of Iftaa` reviewed the letter No.4/2/2/10794 sent from His Excellency the Minister of Awqaf, Holy Sites and Islamic Affairs Dr.Mohammad Al-Khalayleh. It stated as follows: "We would like to bring to your attention that Mr.Yaghi has donated the land No. (586/5) (Al-Ar-Rafiah, An-nawaijees Village, of the lands of eastern Amman) for building a mosque. This land is estimated at (530) square meters and is registered in the name of the Ministry of Awqaf, Holy Sites and Islamic Affairs under a contract of hibah (gift)/2009. This land has been vacant since 2009, however, several mosques were built near it and they suffice for prayer performers residing in that area. However, this land is considered in violation of the regulations stated in the Jordanian Law in this regard. In addition, not benefitting from it defies the purpose for which it was endowed in the first place. Based on the aforementioned, what is the ruling of Sharia on investing this land?

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

It is permissible to invest the above land and use the revenue in favor of the surrounding mosques, and in a manner that achieves the purpose for which it was endowed. This is of course after the donor, or his heirs in case he was dead, approve of that. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for a woman whose menses exceeded (15) days to pray, fast and do what was prohibited on her to do during the latter period?

If the menses exceeded 15 days then it is deemed menstruation, and in this case she is obliged to pray and fast and to do what was impermissible for her to do during the latter period. In addition, she is obliged to make an ablution for each obligatory prayer after it's due time and making sure that impuity is removed. Finally, your menstruation period is over (Questioner) simlar to your menstruation in the previos month.

What is the ruling on making a false oath?

Making false oath indulges its maker in Hell; therefore, he is obliged to repent, ask Allah for forgiveness and make an expiation; feeding 10 poor or providing clothes for them and in case of incapability of doing any of latters he should fast for 3 consecutive days. And Allah Knows Best. 

What is the ruling of Sharia on charging one`s mobile from the plug of the university`s lecture room?

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 pious wouldn`t do that. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a woman to say that she loves her husband more than her father?

It is impermissible for her to say so since this would hurt her father deep down. Allah, The Almighty, Says in this regard (What means): "And that ye be kind to parents." [Al-Isra/23]. Saying such a thing to her father isn`t an act of kindness since she should keep it to herself even if she felt that way.
