A Statement by the Iftaa` Department on the Terrorist Crimes in America and Libya

 

 

Praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad, the seal of Messengers, and upon all his family and companions.

The Iftaa` Department confirms that  the killing of innocent people nowadays on basis of  belief, sect, or ethnicity represents a serious violation of humanity and an act of aggression which is absolutely denied by our religion of mercy and human dignity. Allah Says (What means): "We sent thee not, but as a Mercy for all creatures." [Al-Anbia`/107]. He, The Almighty also Says (What means): "We have honored the sons of Adam." [Al-Isra`/70].

The Department condemns the heinous crime that led to the death of three young Muslims in the United States, and the despicable act committed by the criminal junta and led to the death of a number of Coptic Egyptians in Libya. A crime so barbaric that it has shaken the conscience of humanity. However, Islam has nothing to do with it and denounces it completely.

Therefore, the Department calls on scholars, thinkers and people of sound opinion to counter terrorism by reflecting the beautiful image of Islam  and protecting it since mixing Islam with terrorism only leads societies to a state of chaos and anarchy.

We pray that Allah bestows peace and security upon Jordan and the rest of the Islamic countries.

The Iftaa` Department

Summarized Fatawaa

When the soul leaves the body, does it hear and see? And where does the soul go?

The important thing is that the soul departs while its owner is a believing, repentant Muslim, as this is a good ending. As for the details, they are lengthy. The grave is either a garden from the gardens of Paradise or a pit from the pits of Hellfire. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Should a pregnant woman who broke fast because of pregnancy make it up, and is a ransom due on her?

The pregnant and the suckling, if they fear for their health, may break their fast and make up for it, and no ransom is due on them. However, if they broke fast in fear for the fetus and the baby, then they are obliged to make up for it, and pay the ransom which is feeding a needy person for each of the missed fasting days. And Allah Knows Best.

How are gaps filled during congregational prayer?

A praying person is allowed to take two steps in order to fill the gap in the row ahead. If the distance was long and requires much movement, then it is impermissible for one to move to fill it because much consecutive movement (three movements) during prayer invalidates it.

What is the expiation for being forced to give a false testimony in order to achieve reform?

Achieving reform is done by following the way of Allah through giving back rights to whom they belong. Therefore, repenting to Allah from false testimony is only achieved by abrogating it, and the person in question should expiate for that oath if he had taken it, so that Allah may forgive him.
