Your Treacherous Nature won`t Intimidate Us

 

The ISIS terrorists continue sending messages threatening people and national security and vowing to carry out more terrorist operations, in addition to mobilizing their sleeper cells and lonely wolves. 

They reinforce these heinous messages with sadistic scenes, which involve beheadings and slaughtering; a solid evidence of their cruelty, barbarism, aberrant behavior, mercilessness and disrespect for human dignity.

They are monsters in human clothing, sick individuals disguising in the cloak of Islam to vent their psychic complexes and hatred against the society to which they belong. They try to cover their deficiency and failure under the pretext of freedom and establishing the caliphate.

What kind of battle is this group managing and against whom? They are killing Muslims in Iraq and Sham (Syria) and carrying out cowardly suicide attacks. Surprisingly, they call these heinous crimes Jihad in the cause of Allah although they are merely devilish operations in support for the enemies of Islam.

They have overlooked the fact that the true battle of the Muslims is one of development, building, and preserving dignity since sanctities can`t be liberated through cowardly barbaric acts. Rather, there has to be material and moral strength founded on truth, justice, and respect of human rights. This very meaning is embodied in the verse (What means): "Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power." [Al-Anfal/60].

No state can be established without safeguarding right and justice and preserving human dignity. This is a difficult mission that can`t be accomplished save by those whom Allah has blessed with success as well as the forward-looking competitors aspiring for the pride of the Muslim nation.

The loyal tribes of Jordan are the builders and guardians of the homeland while the terrorists try to destabilize the country and jeopardize the safety and security of the citizens, but no way!

These treacherous terrorist attempts will only increase our insistence on moving forward at all levels of development and respect for human rights. We, by the permission of Allah, weren`t and won`t be intimidated by your terrorist attempts because we believe in divine decree and are eager to be martyred in the cause of Allah since our life and death are for Allah alone.

As for our brave army and security forces, they are our sons and brothers to whom we are truly grateful and they will remain the strong fortress defending our homeland.

Finally, it is no secret that Islam is the religion of peace, mercy, knowledge, development, civilization and respect for human rights. What the terrorists say and do contradicts the teachings of true Islam, which is innocent from them and their acts. Rather, these heinous acts represent their evil spirits and sick souls.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the semi-circular structure attached to the Holy Kabah?

The semi-circular structure attached to the Holy Kabah is Hijr Al-Kabah (is a low wall originally part of the Kabah) and passing behind it is an obligation while making Tawaf because it is a part of the Holy Kabah. And Allah Knows Best.

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].

What is the ruling on making up missed prayers during prohibited times?

 

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
 
It is permissible to make up (qada’) missed prayers at any time, even during the periods when prayer is generally prohibited. The prayers that are forbidden and considered invalid during these times are 'absolute voluntary prayers' (nafl mutlaq)—which have no specific cause—and voluntary prayers whose cause follows the prayer itself, such as the Sunnah of entering Ihram or the Sunnah of the Istikharah prayer. Furthermore, no prayer is considered disliked (makruh) during these prohibited times when performed within the Meccan Sanctuary (Makkah al-Mukarramah).
 
It is stated in Bushra al-Karim (Vol.1/P.181), one of the Shafi’i texts: 'It is not forbidden to perform prayers that have a cause that is not delayed (i.e., the cause is preceding), such as making up a missed prayer (fa’itah)—even if it was a voluntary one—and the funeral prayer (janazah); or a cause that is simultaneous, such as the prayer for rain (istisqa’) or the eclipse prayer (kusuf)... and the Sunnah of wudu, the greeting of the mosque (tahiyyat al-masjid), the Sunnah of circumambulation (tawaf), the Sunnah of arrival, and the prostrations of recitation (tilawah) or thankfulness (shukr). These mentioned prayers and their like are not forbidden provided that one does not specifically intend (ta'ammud) to perform them during the disliked time because it is a disliked time. If one does so intentionally, it becomes forbidden, even if it is a mandatory makeup prayer that is due immediately; because in that case, one is acting in defiance of the Sharia. This is in contrast to when one does not specifically seek out that time, even if the prayer happens to fall within it, or if one seeks it for another purpose—such as delaying a funeral prayer to that time so that a larger number of people may pray over the deceased; in such cases, it is permissible and valid... And it is forbidden to perform prayers with no cause at all, like absolute nafl, or those with a delayed cause, such as the Istikharah prayer, the prayer for Ihram, the prayer for a need (hajah), the prayer before leaving the house, or the prayer before execution; because their causes occur after the prayer itself.' And Allah the Exalted knows best."

What is the virtue of performing ‘Umrah in Ramadan?

Ibn ‘Abbas narrated: "When the Prophet ﷺ returned from his Hajj, he said to Umm Sinan Al-Ansariyyah: ‘What prevented you from performing Hajj?’ She replied: ‘Abu So-and-so (referring to her husband) had two camels—he performed Hajj on one of them, and the other was used to irrigate our land.’ The Prophet ﷺ then said: ‘Performing ‘Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj with me.’" [Narrated by Al-Bukhari]
The Prophet ﷺ also said: "An ‘Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj." [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi]
For those who miss the opportunity to perform ‘Umrah in Ramadan, there are many other ways to earn great rewards. One of them is praying Fajr in congregation, then remaining in the mosque remembering Allah until sunrise, and praying two rak‘ahs.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever prays Fajr in congregation, then sits remembering Allah until the sun rises, and then prays two rak‘ahs, will receive the reward of a complete Hajj and ‘Umrah—complete, complete, complete." [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi]
