Date Added : 20-03-2017

Resolution No.(234)(2/2017) by the Board of Iftaa`, Research and Islamic Studies:

"Deducting a Percentage from the Orphans` Allowance to Cover Healthcare Expenses"

Date: (7/Jumada Al-Akhira/1438), corresponding to (6/3/2017)

During the second session held on the above date, the Board reviewed the question sent from the Secretary-General of the Islamic Charity Center Society, Mr. Al-Mohaisin and it reads as follows: 
The Islamic Charity Center Society deducts (5%) from the monthly allowance of the orphans and the poor families under its guardianship to cover the health services delivered to them by one of its medical centers. Is this permissible? 
Answer: All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
After deliberating the above question, the Board decided the following:
If donors have been acquainted with the (ICCS) "Guardianship system" and approved of its terms and conditions; particularly the deduction of the afore percentage then it is permissible for the (ICCS) to do so since the approval of the donor is tantamount to the permission stipulated by Sharia as far as the actions of the authorized (ICCS) are concerned. Moreover, since the above percentage is spent in what is beneficial to the above people, this means that the donations serve the purpose for which they were given in the first place. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Does bleeding from the body, such as from wounds, invalidate ablution?

Bleeding doesn't invalidate person's ablution. And Allah Knows Best.

I missed fasting 30 days of the obligatory fast within the last 6 years and 20 days. How do I fast? And what should I do? 

Missed fasting days must be made up, and it is permissible to make them up on non-consecutive days, as continuity is not required for making up missed fasts. Additionally, expiation (Fidya) must be given: feeding one needy person for each day if the makeup is delayed for one year. If the delay extends to two years, Fidya must be given to two needy people per day, and so on. And Allah Knows Best.

Using a little bit of the nutmeg for seasoning is permissible, but using a great deal of it is impermissible since it could lead to intoxication, and Islam has forbidden all intoxicants and stupefacients. And Allah Knows Best.

If a father stops his daughter from getting married, is it permissible for her to conclude the marriage contract herself?
