Date Added : 28-10-2015

 

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

Does passing wind, from the anus without a smell, invalidate prayer?

If a person is certain of having passed wind even if it was with no smell, then both his/her ablution and prayer are invalidated, thus he/she should remake ablution and re-perform prayer.

Is it permissible for a woman in her waiting period (Iddah) after her husband's death to leave her house and mix with non-Mahrams?

It is not permissible for a woman in her waiting period (Iddah) after the death of her husband to leave her house except for a necessity, such as for medical treatment, nor is she allowed to mix with non-Mahrams. A woman is not permitted to mix with anyone other than her husband or Mahrams, whether she is in her waiting period or not. However, there is no harm in accepting condolences from those who visit and responding to their inquiries about her well-being. And Allah Knows Best.

I want to buy a house by having a loan from a bank?

If taking a loan from usrious banks it is impermissible; on the other hand, if this took place through Islamic ones then it is permissible to get the loan, since Allah the Most Exalted Said (What means): "And Allah has made buying lawful and forbidden usury (riba)." And Allah Knows Best.
