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

Generally speaking, I`m dutiful to my mother and opt for obeying her. However, she chose a certain girl to be my future wife, but I`m not pleased with her choice although that girl comes from a good family and enjoys good character. Should I obey my mother or choose another girl that lives up to my expectations?

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds.

One must obey their parents in whatever is in compliance with the teachings of Sharia and within one`s capacity. However, you aren`t to blame for not marrying that girl, but it is better that you tell your mother about that and it is preferable that you perform Istikharah prayer. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

What is the ruling on paying a sum of money to Saudi citizen in return of having Saudi residence? It is worth noting that this transation is labelled as a "worker's visa" but I am not going to work as such only to facilitate having it?

Allah The Almighty Says (What means): "O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with the truthful" [At-Tawbah/119]. False statements contradict truthfulness, and it is not permissible to write them. A Muslim has the right to live in any Islamic country, and those who prevent him will be accountable before Allah about their action and the justification for the prohibition. And Allah Knows Best.
