A Statement on the Obligation of Supporting Palestinians Defending Al-Aqsa Mosque and Sheikh Jarrah Neighborhood

 

 

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad, his family and companions.

 

In light of the barbarous campaign launched by the Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinians stationed in East Jerusalem`s Sheikh Jarrah, the subsequent violations at Al-Aqsa mosque and the attacks against Palestinian worshippers stationed there.

 

The General Iftaa` Department, in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, reaffirms its condemnation of these unethical practices, which contradict the values of tolerance, peaceful coexistence and human rights. It reaffirms that the Palestinian residents of Jerusalem has the right to defend the Islamic holy sites and foil Israeli attempts to ban worshippers from praying at Al-Aqsa. This is in addition to harassing Jerusalemites, driving them out of their homes and placing restrictions on entering Al-Aqsa mosque, which is an integral part of a Muslim`s faith as it is the first direction of prayer,  the second mosque ever established for mankind on earth and the third holiest mosque.

 

We pray that Allah helps the Palestinians and supports their steadfastness against this heinous enemy. We also stress that defending Palestine and Al-Aqsa mosque is the religious duty of every Muslim person, leaders, governments and thinkers. However, this begins by holding on to the religious constants and Islamic creed, in addition to reminding people about the significance of Al-Aqsa mosque and the sufferings of the Jerusalemites at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces. Allah The Almighty Says (What means): "God has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion - the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: ’They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me. ’If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked." [An-Nur, 55]. We highly appreciate their steadfastness in defending the Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem. We also stress the role and importance of the Hashemite custodianship over Al-Aqsa mosque in terms of safeguarding Islamic and Christian holy sites. This custodianship is the first line of defense against usurpation or aggression in terms of time and place. We are thankful to His Majesty King Abdullah the 2nd for his relentless efforts in support of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa mosque. We will always follow his wise leadership, which didn`t flinch from sacrificing everything for the sakes of Al-Aqsa mosque and the just causes of the Arab nation.

 

We pray that Allah pardons our mistakes, achieves our aspirations, grants us victory over our enemies and blesses us with liberating our Islamic sanctities, and that for God is surely no great matter.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is Zakah (obligatory charity) due on owned land?

Zakah is due on the land used as an article of merchandise and was originally bought for that end. Zakah is due on it at the end of every lunar year. Its value is estimated, and (2.5%) of the total value of all such lands owned by the questioner is given as Zakah. However, no Zakah is due on the land used for building a house, or an agricultural purpose.

I went to the health center today to take an intramuscular injection of Neurorubin B12. The nurse told me that this type of injection breaks the fast because it nourishes the body. Is this true? I have heard that intramuscular injections do not break the fast, but I was unsure about this type, so I decided not to take the injection.
 
 
 
 
 

Therapeutic injections administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly do not invalidate the fast because they do not enter the digestive tract through an open passage. However, intravenous injections containing nutritional fluids do break the fast, as they are akin to food and drink in effect. The B12 injection is a therapeutic injection and does not break the fast. And Allah Knows Best.
 
 
 
 
 
 

What is the expiation for perjury?

One who commits perjury should repent, seek Allah`s forgiveness and offer an expiation which is: feeding ten indigent persons, or clothing them, or giving a slave his freedom, but if that is beyond his means then, he should fast for three days. Allah, The Almighty, Says in this regard (What means): "Allah will not call you to account for what is futile in your oaths, but He will call you to account for your deliberate oaths: for expiation, feed ten indigent persons, on a scale of the average for the food of your families; or clothe them; or give a slave his freedom. If that is beyond your means, fast for three days. That is the expiation for the oaths ye have sworn. But keep to your oaths. Thus doth Allah make clear to you His signs, that ye may be grateful." [Al-Ma`idah/89].

What is the stance of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah regarding the historical figure known as 'the Sufyani,' who some say will appear at the end of times? And what is the stance of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah regarding the group that killed Al-Husayn ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), particularly those who directly committed the killing, severed his head, and killed members of his family?

Most of the narrations about the signs of the Hour concerning the Sufyani, who is said to appear before the Mahdi, indicate that he is the leader of the army that will invade the Kaaba, and Allah will cause the earth to swallow them. We disassociate ourselves before Allah from those who killed Al-Husayn Ibn Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), supported his killing, or encouraged it, whether openly or secretly. The inner matters are left to Allah alone. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.
