A Statement Regarding the Attack on a Mosque in Egypt

 

Allah the Almighty says {What means}: "……. whoever slays a soul for other than a soul, or for corruption in the land, it shall be as if he had slain mankind altogether; and whoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind." {al-Ma`idah, 32}.

 

The General Iftaa` Department in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan strongly condemns the cowardly terrorist incident in which safe worshipers were attacked in a mosque in the Arab Republic of Egypt. The Department confirms that this cowardly act goes against all religious and human values and isn`t accepted by sound mind or human instinct. This is since killing is one of the greatest crimes in the sight of Allah the Almighty and one of the abominations that Islam warned against.

 

While warning against this misguided and deviant thought that does not respect ties of kinship or of covenant, the Department extends its deepest condolences to our brothers in Egypt. It asks Allah to accept their martyrs and wishes a speedy recovery to their wounded. It also prays that Allah bless Egypt and the rest of the world with safety and security.

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.

Is Zakah (obligatory charity) due on leased property, and how is it calculated?

Zakah isn`t due on the leased property itself, but on the saved income from that property if it reached Nissab (minimum amount liable for Zakah), and a whole lunar year had lapsed over saving it.

Is an animal that results from crossbreeding between two types of livestock (an'ām) valid [for sacrifice]?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.
An animal that results from crossbreeding between two types of livestock (an'ām) is valid [for sacrifice], with consideration given to the higher of the two required ages. Thus, in the case of an animal crossbred between sheep (ḍa'n) and goats (ma'z), only one that has reached two years of age is valid [for sacrifice]. And Allah, the Most High, knows best.

Is it valid to share in the 'aqīqah by contributing a seventh share of a camel or cow?

All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.
Yes, it is permissible. If a group of people jointly share in the slaughter of a camel or a cow on behalf of seven individuals, this is valid — regardless of whether all of them intend the 'aqīqah, or some intend the 'aqīqah, others the uḍḥiyyah, and others simply the purchase of meat. And Allah Almighty knows best.
