Regarding the Violation of the Sanctity of Al Madinah Al Munawwarah

                          Statement on Mourning the Saudi Security Services Martyrs of Duty

 

Allah the Almighty Says {what means}: "Think not of those who are slain in God’s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord; They rejoice in the bounty provided by God: And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve." {Al-Imran, 169-171}.

 

With deep sadness and sorrow, the General Iftaa` Department mourns the Saudi security services martyrs of duty who were treacherously killed in Al Medina Al Munawwarah near the Prophet's Mosque and during the last days of the holy month of Ramadan: the month of forgiveness, mercy and tolerance.

 

Terrorists with ideologies of darkness assassinated a group of soldiers who were carrying out their sacred national duty in preserving the security of Al Medina Al Munawwarah and protecting the guests of the Most Merciful, visitors and performers of Umrah. This is a severe transgression against innocent individuals guarding their homeland and preserving security to enable Muslims perform the rituals of Islam, and consequently violating the sanctity of this city about which the Prophet (PBUH) said: "Medina is a sanctuary from that place to that. Its trees should not be cut and no heresy should be innovated nor any sin should be committed in it, and whoever innovates in it a heresy or commits sins (bad deeds), then he will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people." {Transmitted by Bukhari}. This heinous act took place during the holy month of Ramadan, reflecting a criminal behavior that goes against all the values of Islam and humanity. These thugs respect not in Muslims the ties either of kinship or of covenant. 

 

The Department extends its deepest condolences to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the families of the martyrs, asking Allah The Almighty to Give them patience and solace, and to accept the martyrs in paradise along with the prophets (PBUT) (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), and the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good): Ah! What a beautiful fellowship! In this regard, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): "There are two eyes which will never be touched by hell, an eye which weeps from fear of God and an eye which spends the night on guard in God’s path." {Transmitted by Tirmidhi}.  The blood of these innocent Muslims will remain witness to the crimes of this despicable criminal group. 

 

                                Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we will return

                            (The wrongdoers will come to know what ˹evil˺ end they will meet)

Summarized Fatawaa

My husband wanted to sell a piece of land that was his own, but his father insisted that he transfer the land in his (the father’s) name so that he could sell it at a higher price. Then, my husband and his father would split the price. After my father-in-law sold the land, he denied everything and refused to acknowledge my husband’s right. My father-in-law passed away a year ago, and my husband’s brothers divided the inheritance, refusing to acknowledge that this land was a trust held by their father for my husband until it was sold. Are they sinful for knowingly denying that the land belongs to my husband, and what is the ruling on praying against them?
 
 
 
 
 

All perfect praise be to Alalh, The Lord of The Worlds, and may His Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all of his family and companions.
Among the rights of the deceased upon their heirs are: preparing them for burial at death, settling their debts, returning people’s rights to them, executing their will, and then dividing their estate. What was mentioned in the question falls under the rights of others, even if they are among the heirs, and the deceased is not absolved of it unless it is returned to its rightful owners. This is because Allah, Almighty, forbids consuming others' wealth/properties unjustly. However, do not give up on seeking a solution by involving righteous and well - respected individuals who may have influence over them, in the hope that Allah guides them to goodness and correctness. As for supplicating against them, the prayer of the oppressed is not rejected, even if the oppressed person is not a Muslim. And Allah knows best.
 
 
 
 
 

Is it enough to say Tasbeeh (Saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-‘Atheem during Rukoo`, and saying Subhaana Rabbiya Al-A‘laa during Sujood ) once, or twice during Rukoo`(Bowing in prayer) and Sujood (Prostration)?

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                  Yes, saying Tasbeeh once during Rukoo` and Sujood is enough, provided that the worshiper`s attentiveness of the heart isn`t undermined during each. As regards the recompense, it depends on the number of Tasbeeh. And Allah Knows Best.

I work in an accounting and auditing office, and among the clients of the office are restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets that sell alcohol. Our work is limited to collecting invoices, whether purchases, sales, or expenses, and recording them in daily books. We also review income and sales taxes on behalf of these clients.

You are more knowledgeable about the nature of your work. If you see it as assisting in wrongdoing, then it is forbidden, as Allah The Exalted Says (What means): "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression" [Al-Ma’idah/2]. However, if your work is merely documenting the reality, then I hope there is no sin upon you. The the pious predecessors (Salaf) used to take the tithe from the traders of the People of the Book, even if it included alcohol, after knowing the value of their goods. And Allah The Almighty Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a woman who has become pure before the end of forty days of confinement to perform different acts of worship? and is it lawful for her husband to have sex with her?

Once postpartum bleeding ceases and she is certain that it won`t happen again, she becomes pure, and so she should perform Ghusl (ritual bath), pray, and fast. She can also have sex with her husband even before the end of (40) days because the minimum of postpartum bleeding is a moment, and the maximum is (60) days. However, the postpartum bleeding for the majority of women is (40) days, but this does not apply to rest of them.
