Resolution No.(105) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

“Ruling on Selling Gold Decorated with Cloves of Beads“    

Date: 26/4/1427 AH, corresponding to 24/5/2006 AD.

 

 

 

Question:

 

What is the ruling of Sharia on traders who weigh gold along with its  decorations  made from bead cloves when selling it to customers and deduct the weight of those beads upon purchasing it from them?

Answer: All success is due to Allah.

The Board is of the view that it is permissible because crafted gold is similar to a commodity. However, it is incumbent upon the trader to tell the customer about the weight of these beads which the gold contains, when selling or buying, or else it will be considered an act of deception, which is forbidden in Sharia. The Prophet (PBUH) said: “He who deceives is not of us." {Muslim}. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the expiation for breaking fast due to being on a journey, or being sick, or being in a state of menstruation?

No expiation is due on the aforesaid categories, but they are obliged to make up for the missed fast. However, if any of them failed to do so while being able to, and the next Ramadhaan has come, then making up for those days is incumbent on him/her , and paying the ransom as well.

A man married a woman at the Islamic Centre in Brussels through a regular marriage contract. However, the husband left her for two years now and never provided her with financial support. Currently, she is staying in Amman, Jordan, and wants to remarry. Is her first marriage considered void and what should she do to remarry lawfully?

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.
This issue is within the jurisdiction of the Islamic courts and they have the final say regarding the dissolution of the first marriage contract if there is valid ground for that. Therefore, her first marriage remains valid unless a court decision says otherwise. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

I`m a Muslim woman and have fallen in love with a Christian man. Supposing that he embraced Islam. Is it permissible that he proposes to me?

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 relationship between you two is forbidden; however, if he wants to embrace Islam then he should pay a visit to a Sharia court. Once he becomes a Muslim, we will address the matter of proposing to you. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
