Appreciation Statement of UNESCO`s Resolution over Al-Aqsa Mosque

 

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.

General Iftaa` Department highly appreciates the resolution issued by the Executive Board of UNESCO confirming Al-Aqsa Mosque and the whole Haram area (Noble sanctuary) as a sacred Islamic site dedicated for the worship of Muslims.

This honorable and historical resolution reflects the worldly conscience`s rejection of oppression, aggression and usurpation of people`s historical rights. It also represents a victory for the Palestinians how are steadfast in al-Aqsa Mosque and other parts of Palestine. We hope that this brave resolution motivates the international community to shoulder its responsibilities towards the Palestinian issue since it is a righteous and just cause not only to Palestinians but also to the entire Muslim nation.

As Jordanians, we are proud of the Hashemite custodianship of Al-Aqsa Mosque since it protects Islamic sanctuaries against judaization attempts and preserves them as historical and Islamic evidence to the rights of Muslims in this blessed land.

We pray that Almighty Allah favors Muslims with retrieving Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and praying there in peace, and all praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.

General Iftaa` Department

Summarized Fatawaa

What should a person do if they suffer from an incurable illness that prevents them from fasting?

A person who has an illness that is not expected to be cured and prevents them from fasting must feed a needy person one mudd (600 grams) of food (such as wheat or rice) for each missed day instead of fasting.
Allah Almighty says {what means}: "and [in such cases] it is incumbent upon those who can afford it to make sacrifice by feeding a needy person." [Al-Baqarah/184].

Is fidyah required for someone who breaks their fast due to a valid excuse?

● If the excuse is permanent, such as a chronic illness with no hope of recovery or old age, then fidyah is required. This means feeding one needy person for each missed fasting day.
● However, if the excuse is temporary, such as menstruation, postnatal bleeding, or a temporary illness, then only making up the missed fasts (qada) is required, and fidyah does not apply.

Does undergoing surgery under anesthesia break the fast?

Anesthesia itself does not break the fast because anesthetic gases have no physical substance (jirm), and subcutaneous anesthesia injections do not reach the body cavity (jauf). However, this is on condition that the person is conscious at some point during the fasting hours:
● If they were awake at the beginning of the day, their fast remains valid.
● If they wake up even for a moment before sunset, their fast is also valid.
However, if the surgery involves the entry of foreign substances into the body cavity, their fast is invalidated, and they must make up for that day later.

Should a prayer performer who forgets to offer the middle Tashahod (saying ash-hadu anala ilaha ila-alah) offer Sujood As-Sahw (prostration of forgetfulness)?

He/she should offer two prostrations of forgetfulness at the end of the prayer. And Allah Knows Best.
