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

Is it permissible to combine Zuhr and Asr prayers for being occupied with a wedding ceremony?

No, it isn`t permissible to combine Zuhr and Asr, or Maghrib and Isha because of being busy with a wedding since the exemption for combining prayers is based on lawful excuses, and this isn`t one of them. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to offer prayer at home, or should it be offered in the mosque?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.                                                                                                                                                                      It isn`t preferable for the man to pray at home as praying in the mosque is twenty seven times more rewarding. Therefore, this should motivate him to offer prayers in the mosque. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling of Islamic Law regarding one who purchases a sacrificial animal (uḍḥiyah) and it then develops a defect before slaughter?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
If a defect that invalidates the sacrifice (uḍḥiyah) arises after its purchase — for example, if one purchased a sound, defect-free animal, and it then developed a limp, blindness in one eye, or a similar defect before slaughter — it does not fulfill the requirement of a valid uḍḥiyah, according to the Shāfi'ī school.
It is stated in Asnā al-Maṭālib fī Sharḥ Rawḍ al-Ṭālib (Vol.1/P.535): "Even if the limp develops [in the animal] while the knife is upon it, it still does not fulfill the requirement, because it is lame at the moment of slaughter — this is analogous to a case where a sheep's leg breaks and one hastens to slaughter it [in that condition]."
The Ḥanbalī school, however, held that if the one offering the sacrifice purchased the animal while it was sound and defect-free, and a defect then befell it afterward, the sacrifice remains valid and there is no obligation to replace it.
It is stated in Masā'il al-Imām Aḥmad, one of the Ḥanbalī reference works (Vol.8/P.4021): "I said: If a person purchases the sacrificial animal while it is sound, and it is then afflicted with illness, blindness in one eye, or a broken limb [before slaughter]? He [Imam Aḥmad] said: It is said that it still fulfills the requirement. Isḥāq said likewise, because he purchased it while sound, and the defect befell it only afterward, so it remains sufficient on his behalf." [End of quote]
Accordingly, a sheep afflicted with a defect that invalidates the sacrifice does not fulfill the requirement of a valid uḍḥiyah — whether the defect arose after purchase or during the slaughter itself — according to the Shāfi'ī school. However, there is no objection to following the Ḥanbalī position on this matter [as a valid alternative]. And Allah, the Most High, knows best.

Is it permissible to delay the ritual purification (ghusl) from major impurity (janabah) until after dawn?

Yes, it is permissible to delay ghusl from janabah until after dawn, as purity from janabah is not a condition for the validity of fasting. However, one must perform ghusl in time to pray Fajr within its designated time.
